Ahmedabad:

Seemingly frustrated over defeat of Congress in Gujarat despite his all out campaign against BJP in the recently concluded assembly polls and allegations after allegations from close-aides, PAAS leader Hardik Patel today said that he could only be kept silent by shooting at him from point blank range (killing by firing from close range).

After the allegation of his one time close aide and one of the founder members of PAAS Dinesh Bambhaniya that he has amassed personal wealth from the donation in the name of Patidar quota agitation, Hardik today instead of directly replying to the allegations again talked round about.

He said that he should be shot at from point blank range to keep him silent.

Hardik said that when the crime branch first nabbed him, several allegation to defame him were leveled. He was also defamed through sex CDs. He was also mentally tortured while in jail. Now again allegations about making money and buying new flats have been leveled against him. He would tolerate it all because he was not wrong. He would continue his fight because he worked for people. Even if he was killed, Hardik only would become quiet and not the ideology. He had not taken birth to tolerate the slavery. He knew that he would be booked in several cases including that under sections of Income tax act. But he was not impotent and was ready to spend even 14 years in jail.

Earlier Bambhaniya had alleged that Hardik was involved in ticket deal with Congress during election and has bought several properties and flats in Ahmedabad, Vadodara,Surat, Bharuch etc out of the agitation fund. He had also questioned as to when Hardik would hand over the fund collected for martyrs of agitation to their family members. Bambhaniya who had in 2015 approached Gujarat High Court past mid-night on dramatic disappearance of Hardik, alleged that Hardik and some of his closed ones talk things of high morality about women in the day time and drink liquor and indulge in debauchery in the night. He also questioned as to why Hardik has not made a criminal complaint in connection with his sex CDs if he alleges these to be morphed.

Notably, Hardik will participate in the so called Chintan Shivir of PAAS in Botad tomorrow. Allegedly for the fear of opposition only selected people have been allowed to enter the venue.
