Ahmedabad (Gujarat) Mar 7 (ANI): Patidar quota leader Hardik Patel is set to join the Congress party on March 12 and will be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Jamnagar constituency in Gujarat.
"I will join the Congress party on March 12 during the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meet in Ahmedabad and will contest from Jamnagar," Patel told ANI.
