Hardik Patel Exits Congress, "Chicken Sandwich" Swipe At Rahul Gandhi

After days of sulking, Gujarat leader Hardik Patel quit the Congress today with a resignation letter pummelling Rahul Gandhi, who had brought him into the party in 2019. Top leaders, he wrote, "were distracted by their mobile phones" and the Gujarat Congress was more interested in ensuring "chicken sandwiches" for them.
Hardik Patel's letter was "dictated by the BJP" and he was pressured to quit, countered Gujarat Congress leaders.

The high-profile Patidar leader has been in touch with the BJP leadership over the past two months and is likely to join the ruling party within a week, sources said. Hardik Patel has, so far, vehemently denied the Congress-to-BJP switch that many young leaders have made in the past two years
