My thread on @HardikPatel_
1.He was a very powerful & popular leader when he headed the PAAS agitation for reservation for Patels. His agitation is believed to have been instigated by few people in BJP who were happy to see that the agitation cost the Chief minister her seat.
@HardikPatel_ 2. But the same very people who helped him financially & celebrated @anandibenpatel 's ouster deserted Hardik. Why? @HardikPatel_ in the past has confessed to going to RSS Shakha, When the BJP went against him, he was hounded. A Sex CD showing him drinking and having sex surfaced
@HardikPatel_@anandibenpatel@jigneshmevani80@AlpeshThakor_ 4 Then Cong Guj incharge Rajeev Satav told me how @HardikPatel_ refused to listen to anyone. "Before my birthday , give me Rajyasabha. Or makeme the Gujarat Congress president, he told Satav in July 2020. Even then he threatened to quit the Congress.
@HardikPatel_@anandibenpatel@jigneshmevani80@AlpeshThakor_ 5. He got okay after being made working prez. But again in Feb 2021, he sulked. So he went to Surat and reportedly helped Aam Aadmi Party in the Corporation elections. All the candidates he helped were Patel only.The Congress even sought a clarification on this but he denied.
@HardikPatel_@anandibenpatel@jigneshmevani80@AlpeshThakor_ 6. Immaturely, @HardikPatel_ refused to digest tht the power and masses you get whilst heading a social movement is different from that of being a Party. Esp Congress which has not much standing in Gujarat. Also, Congress and RSS cultures are very different.
@HardikPatel_@anandibenpatel@jigneshmevani80@AlpeshThakor_ 7. Today, @HardikPatel_ resigned. Reasons are amusing. He now finds Congress anti Hindu, anti Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, anti youth and anti Patidar. The same reasons he had once voiced against BJP. The most amusing reason he has cited is ...
@HardikPatel_@anandibenpatel@jigneshmevani80@AlpeshThakor_ 8. The #Congress does not work for people, "They were busy arranging for a chicken sandwich for leaders from Delhi". Well, this is the same Hardik who has been caught boozing without a permit and having sex orgies.Can a "Chicken sandwich" really be an issue?
A thread on #MahatmaGandhi in context of #KangnaRanaut's statement on Gandhism.
1.Gandhi was against all isms. 2. Nobody can claim to believe in "Gandhism" & NOT be a liberal. 2. Has anyone seen a pix of #Gandhiji ever visiting a temple, derasar, church or mosque?
3.Gandhi was a liberal & a staunch secular. He never built a temple or inaugurated one.He was the first person who denied Govt funding to #Somnath reconstruction to Kanaiyalal Munshi. 4. #Gandhi ji's prayer meetings were always interfaith in nature, including the Ashram prayers.
5. #Gandhiji was not "nationalstic" in the contemporary usage of the term. He NEVER cited or used history to underscore his social or political battles. He believed only fake nationalists use history to score points without considering the political & social context of the era.
