Patel, a young leader from Gujarat who joined the Congress in 2019, has been passionately working for the rights of the Patidar Community and had gained major limelight during the Patidar reservation agitation movement led by him in 2015. After serving the Congress for roughly three years, the leader resigned from the party on May 18 amid shaky political dynamics ahead of the upcoming polls. Speculations over Hardik Patel joining the BJP were rife since his resignation from Congress. He had praised the BJP's decision-making capacity and style of functioning, while frequently criticising the Congress leadership.
Patel had also recently written a scathing letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, claiming the Congress "only played the role of a roadblock" over certain key issues in the country and was "merely reduced to opposing everything".
