Out-of-Jail Hardik Patel to move to Udaipur

Patidar quota stir leader from Gujarat, Hardik Patel will shift his base to Udaipur for the next 6 months. He was relesed from the Lajpore Jail in Surat on Friday after over nine months. He received a hero’s welcome by hundreds of supporters, some holding posters that read “Gabbar is Back”.

Hardik was released today after Gujarat High Court granted him bail in two sedition and one arson-related cases. The HC had set a condition that Hardik will stay out of Gujarat for a period of next six months. Accordingly, Hardik’s lawyer Dilip Patel informed the court that Hardik will stay at House No 190, Shrinath Nagar on airport road in Udaipur.

Owner of the house in Udaipur is a former Congress MLA of Rajasthan Pushakarlal Patel, who invited Hardik to stay at his house.

Hardik, who had spearheaded the agitation for quota for inclusion of the Patidar community in OBC category, was arrested in October last year. Hardik’s mega rally on reservation held in Ahmedabad on August 25 last year had sparked violence, in which 10 people, including a policeman, were killed and public properties and vehicles destroyed across Gujarat.

22-year-old Hardik asserted he would continue his agitation to get reservation for his community under the OBC quota and hinted at taking the struggle to the national level by involving the Kurmi community.
