BJP chief Amit Shah's meeting with the leaders of the Patidar community in Surat turned into chaos today as supporters of Hardik Patel went on a rampage, chanting his name and vandalising the furniture.

Shah was in Surat to attend a huge rally by the BJP to honour  the new Patel ministers in the government led by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani.  

The rally was seen as not only a show of strength by the BJP but also a gesture to the Patidar community, which had been on a collision course with the government over their demand for quota in jobs and education.
