September 03, 2018 08:33

Amid deteriorating health on the ninth day of his indefinite fast demanding a loan waiver for farmers and quota for the Patidars in jobs and education, Hardik Patel released his will.

Its the ninth day and I have become weak while vital organs are getting affected. I want to state that I may die also of this hunger strike that is against the BJP government, Patel said.

In his will released by his aides Manoj Panara, Patel stated that he has Rs 50,000 in his bank balance and one car. He said Rs 30,000 should be given to his parents while Rs 20,000 will go as donation to a gaushala. Moreover, he said the royalty amount likely to be generated after a book on him is released should go to his parents and sister.

He also said that his eyes should be donated in case of his demise during the hunger strike.
