Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Patidar community Dhiru Gajera, who joined Congress in 2007, came back to BJP during an event organized in Surat city BJP office in Udhna area. We fought against the leadership of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah but we failed. In a veiled attack at the Aam Aadmi Party, Paatil said, “A Patidar man is someone who walks the ground with a wooden stick in one hand and a torchlight in the other, going to the agricultural fields. In place of wooden stick, a broom does not suit the people of the Patidar community. If somebody comes and tells you that things will be given to you for free, don’t accept it.
