Jignesh Mevani criticises Hardik Patel for ‘ungraceful’ exit from Congress

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat legislator Jignesh Mevani on Friday hit out at former Congress leader Hardik Patel for his ungraceful exit from the party, criticising him for bad-mouthing the Congress and its leaders.Mevani, who has been supporting the Congress, is expected to officially join the party before the 2022 Gujarat assembly elections.He said that the Congress party gave all the support to Patel, making him the working president for Gujarat, a post that Patel resigned from while quitting the party.Patel’s one-page resignation letter -- he put out copies in English and Hindi on his Twitter handle -- was scathing in its criticism of the Congress and its leaders, who he said did not have a roadmap for the people, were non-serious and behaved as if they hated Gujarat and Gujaratis.
