Dilip Sanghani’s advice to Hardik Patel
Dilip Sanghani said, Hardik Patel will be fine if he stays with BJP’s ideology, otherwise he will be suspended. Still many senior BJP leaders did not like Hardik Patel joining BJP. After polling in Amreli this morning, senior BJP leader Dilip Sanghani said that even when the Sardar’s statue was being built, he had made a mistake, the comments he had made about Narendrabhai in the past. I am talking about ideology. Valio the robber also became Valmiki. The vessel in which the water is placed forms the shape. If you don’t go with BJP’s ideology, you can’t survive in BJP. Also suspends, dismisses.
He said if Hardik sticks to the ideology of BJP, it will be beneficial. Otherwise there will be damage. If you do not join the ideology of BJP, you can be suspended. Accepting the ideology of BJP, BJP has made Hardik a member. Not the movement. He further said, even if Valio Loontar comes in BJP, he becomes Valmiki. So the future of BJP is good. So Hardik’s future depends on his behavior. BJP’s future is good, Hardik’s future depends on his behavior.
