“Our first and last concern is reservation. Hardik Patel will
make an announcement from Rajkot on Monday,” a PAAS leader said after a
meeting with Congress
Even though only two days are left to file nominations for the first phase of Gujarat elections, the Congress
is yet to announce its candidates as the party is trying to strike the
delicate caste balance while doing the quota tight rope and grappling
internal factionalism.The list is likely to be announced on Sunday night
when a meeting is scheduled between Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leaders and the Congress.
There are also contradictions — if Congress gives ticket to a Thakor, Patidars may not vote for it and vice versa. BJP hopes to capitalise on this.
