No plans to fight polls now, will decide at right time: Hardik

July 22, 2017 17:58

Patidar quota agitation spearhead Hardik Patel today said he had no immediate plans to enter electoral politics and will continue to focus on raising issues related to his community and the agriculture sector.

Maintaining that he would take a call on fighting elections at appropriate time, Patel made it clear that he had no plans to forge an alliance with former Gujarat Chief Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela, who quit the Congress yesterday.

"Right now, I have no plans to contest elections. I neither have any political intentions, nor do I represent any party. I am just fighting for the cause of society and the farm sector," Patel said.

The 24-year-old leader, however, said he would take a call on entering electoral politics at the "appropriate time".
