Hardik Patel To Launch Campaign To Wean Away Congress Leaders In Gujarat

Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the pride of the world, Hardik Patel said that after joining the BJP he would do an event every 10 days to ask Congress leaders, including MLAs, to join the BJP.

Former Congress leader Hardik Patel, ahead of his induction into the BJP on Thursday, said that he would launch a campaign to wean away Congress leaders in Gujarat.

Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the pride of the world, Mr Patel said that after joining the BJP he would do an event every 10 days to ask Congress leaders, including MLAs, to join the BJP.

"I believe the Congress party does not want to do any sort of work. I urge the leaders of the other parties to come and join the BJP. PM Modi is the pride of the entire world," he said while speaking to the media here.

Mr Patel, who last month resigned from Congress, is set to join the BJP today.
