Amit Shah to hold the reins, Rupani Gujarat CM just for sake of it says Hardik Patel

Udaipur, August 6: Political activist and Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel claimed that the new Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was an Amit Shah loyalist and that all work in the state would be to the behest of the BJP president.

“Rupani will be the Chief Minister of Gujarat just for the sake of it. All the work will be virtually done by Amit Shah,” said Patel, who has been living here after a court ordered him to stay away from Gujarat.

He was also critical of the BJP government who he accused of misdirecting the the Patel community and said if Nitin Patel, who has been chosen as Rupani’s deputy, “wants to save his image among the Patel community, he should resign”.

He said that the Patel community has been insulted once again in the state and Shah has started a new type of politics by naming Nitin Patel as the Deputy Chief Minister and vowed to continue his agitation for quota in the state.
