Hardik Patel, who recently quit the Congress, will join the BJP on Thursday, sources have said. The 28-year-old Gujarat Patidar leader, who started his political career in 2019 with the Congress, quit the party on May 18 after writing a lacerating resignation note to Sonia Gandhi. In the letter, he had targeted Rahul Gandhi, saying "top leaders" were distracted by their mobile phones and Gujarat Congress leaders were more interested in arranging chicken sandwiches for them.
