Congress party likely to get around 100 seats: Hardik Patel

Patidar leader Hardik Patel on Thursday said the ruling BJP was set to lose the Gujarat assembly elections, and that the Congress was likely to get around 100 seats in the 182-member house.

"Official files have already started disappearing from the state Secretariat," he said while talking to journalists after casting his vote in Viramgam in Ahmedabad district.

Patel said the



Bharatiya Janata Party was likely to get around 70 seats.

"The BJP has already accepted defeat - that is why half of the government is out working in the elections."

The Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti leader also urged all eligible people to exercise their franchise.

"People should vote to throw out the arrogant from power in Gujarat," he said.
