I was offered Rs. 5 crore to skip Surat rally
Surat, Dec 4 (IBNS) : Adding another twist to the wavering sequence of pre-poll drama in Gujarat, Patidar leader Hardik Patel has alleged that he was offered Rs 5 crore to skip Sunday'srally in Surat, Gujarat.
Speaking in Surat rally, Hardik said, "I was offered 5 crore to remain absent from Surat rally. I got a call from a Surat businessman who offered me this huge sum. They will try to divide us, but this time we have to show them our unity."
The Patidar leader who has pledged support to the Congress, asked people not to cast their vote to BJP this time and not to fall in the "trap" of Independent, AAP and NCP candidates.
He asked his followers to make phone calls to their relatives living in other parts of Gujarat and tell them that they shouldn't vote for BJP this time.
"I want to see a headline in news on December 19 that egoistic government lost to 6 crore people of Gujarat. We have no personal grudge against BJP, but how can we forget the way they have troubled us during Patidar agitation," he said.
Hardik also feels that this BJP is not the the same BJP of Vajpayee-Keshaubhai which used to think about farmers and the poor as the party is now "full of goons."
