A warrant was earlier issued against Patel for allegedly vandalising BJP MLA Rishikesh Patel's office during a rally in July 2015. The warrant was issued on a day when the Election Commission announced the schedule for the Gujarat Assembly election. In an exclusive interview to India Today, Patel later said the Patidar agitation would intensify if the police tried to arrest him. The Congress has invited Patel to come on board, but he has so far denied reports that he's doing so.
