Hardik Patel has quit the Congress, in a huge blow to the party just months before the Gujarat election. "I am gathering the courage to resign from the Congress party and post. I am sure my decision will be welcomed by my colleagues and the people of Gujarat. I believe that with this step, I will be able to work really positively for Gujarat in future," Hardik Patel wrote in a Twitter post sharing his resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
