'For You, Speech In Hindi, Not Gujarati' - PM Modi's Outreach To Patidars
A day after a rock-star welcome in Gujarat's Surat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has an action-packed schedule in his home state, with three major events on Monday to bolster his party BJP's outreach to the Patidar community, the tribals of south Gujarat and the water-starved Saurashtra region. The Prime Minister began the day by inaugurating a multi-specialty hospital in Surat built by a trust dominated by the Patidars - a powerful community that has been disenchanted with the ruling BJP in recent months and has aggressively campaigned for quota in jobs and education - led by 23-year-old Hardik Patel.
