Patidar leader Hardik Patel resigned from the Congress on Wednesday. He was the Gujarat Congress' working president.
In his resignation letter, Hardik Patel said the "big leaders of Congress in Gujarat are far away from issues of the state but are more focused on ensuring that chicken sandwich for leaders who have come from Delhi is delivered on time."
In the letter, he also said that despite several attempts to steer the Congress in the right direction, "the party has constantly been working against the interests of the country and society."
