PAAS convenor Hardik Patel has categorically denied meeting Robert Vadra. 

Today they say I met Robert Vadra, tomorrow they will say I met Nawaz, Dawood: Hardik Patel

Ahmedabad: Gujarat quota agitation leader Hardik Patel on Wednesday rejected reports of his meeting with businessman and Congress president-elect Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra.

''Reports of my meeting with Vadra are false,'' Hardik Patel said while talking to ANI.

Attacking his political rivals, the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convener said, ''Now they are alleging I met Robert Vadra. This is false. After ten days they can even claim I met Nawaz Sharif, then they will say I met Dawood Ibrahim."

Hardik's former aide Dinesh Bambhania had on Tuesday claimed that the Patidar leader had met Vadra at a five-star hotel in October.

Speaking about the Gujarat polls, Hardik said that he has always championed the cause of Gujarat's people and fought for their rights and never tried to put anyone down.

"The people of Gujarat need a strong voice to support them. I have always raised my voice for people's right and asked everyone to fight for their right," he added.

Hardik Patel had recently aligned with Congress with a common aim to defeat the ruling BJP in the upcoming Gujarat assembly elections.

Last month, Hardik made headlines after he claimed that the Congress has agreed to give reservation to the Patidar community, if the party comes to power in Gujarat.

Patidars or Patels are an important group in Gujarat, who enjoy great political dominance in the state.
