Hardik Patel: losing aides. File picture Ahmedabad, Oct. 23 (Agencies): The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday sought to dismiss a Patel community leader’s allegation that he had been offered Rs 1 crore to switch sides. It was a drama (enacted) by Narendra Patel at the behest of Congress. At Sunday night’s press conference, Narendra had showed stacks of currency, which, he alleged, former PAAS leader Varun Patel had given to him as an advance. Last week, state Congress president Bharatsinh Solanki had invited Hardik Patel to join the party.
