The political career of Hardik Patel started in August 2015 Patidar agitation in Gujarat when he was 22 years old. Patidars (Patels) are dominant upper caste, politically active and economically prosperous community in one of the most prosperous Gujarat state. So, by no parameters, they can get government reservations going by the rule book.
It was a political agitation of job reservation for Patidars probably planted by congress to embarrass Narendra Modi who became PM year back in May 2014. Later Hardik Patel joined congress to start his political innings. This is perfectly ok but there was big flaw in the process.
Within 3-4 days of intense Patidar agitation, thousands of buses and public properties were burnt in August 2015. PM Modi had to appeal to calm down and discuss the matter across the table. The total loss in the Gujarat state was staggering Rs 25000 Crore over a period of one year! This is certainly not the correct way to launch a political carrier.
But in India, things happen this way only. Remember VP Singh raised corruption issue against PM Rajiv Gandhi in mid-1980s when he was thrown out from central cabinet. VP Singh raised the issue of Bofors kickback and Rajiv Gandhi’s Swiss bank account. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated and later prime suspect Quattrocchi of Italy also died and the investigation headed nowhere. Similarly, Arvind Kejriwal launched his political carrier in 2012 Anna Hazare anti-corruption and Lokpal agitation and made multiple promises like live in non-AC 2 room flat, commute by auto only etc. etc. All those promises proved fake when he became CM with massive mandate in 2015. Similarly, Hardik Patel forgot Patidar agitation issue after joining congress. After realising congress is sinking in Gujarat state, he joined BJP just before 2022 state assembly election and won the election and currently in BJP.
BJP should throw him out from BJP as he was responsible for Rs 25000 Crore economic loss in Patidar agitation. With a massive 156 seats win in 2022 out of 182 seat state assembly, BJP is sitting pretty. Even if Hardik Patel joins any other party or forms a new party with 4-5 followers, BJP will lose nothing. In state like UP, BJP CM Yogi Adityanath is extracting money from communal rioters by openly naming and shaming them and bulldozing their house who refuses to pay compensation. This is a correct approach to prevent property destruction by rioters. Even Supreme Court stated that rioters must pay up. Expressing concern over the loss of lives and damage to public property during agitations, the Supreme Court on 28 November 2017 asked Centre to create courts in every state and union territory to fix accountability for vandalism and compensate the victims of such violent protests. The top court suggested to the Centre that one or more district judges should be given responsibilities in consultation with respective High Courts to prosecute and fix civil liabilities on those responsible for such mayhem.

Delhi CM Kejriwal has been promising the clean the Yamuna since 2015 massive election win. His failure in this regard in in 9 years only gain proved that old political theory – leftist, communist and naxalite leaders are good for nothing.

During 1962 general election Nehru went to Kashi (Varanasi) and in a speech he said, ‘a lot of marble is used in temples, just like it is used in bathrooms. People think that the more marble you use, the more beautiful the thing will look. But seeing marble reminds me of bathrooms’. This speech given by Nehru in Kashi hurt the sentiments of Hindus, many people protested. But instead of apologizing, Nehru again reiterated these thoughts in an election rally in Jaipur during this time. He said in Jaipur, ‘the temples that are built today are absolutely worthless. As I had said in Banaras, perhaps people were offended. Here the beauty of temples is considered to be putting a lot of marble stone in them. Marble is a good stone, but marble stone always reminds me of bathrooms’. It is possible that Nehru was expressing concern about the architecture of Hindu temples in his election speech and perhaps he was mentioning the bathroom by giving the example of the same. But the same example can b...
