Patidar Quota No Longer An Issue In Gujarat, Says BJP
, 4 news, a view
The BJP has claimed the reservation demand by Patidars in Gujarat is no longer an issue and expressed confidence that the community will vote for it in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
A number of Patidars in the state's Saurashtra region are engaged in agricultural activities, and the opposition Congress has accused the government of going back on its promises to farmers, specially the crop insurance scheme.
However, a leader from the ruling BJP feels their Rs 6,000 annual income scheme for farmers will be a "game changer" in the Lok Sabha polls.
