Summary:

"Inhuman atrocities were committed on Patidars in Gujarat in the last three years under prime minister Narendra Modi. In the letter, Hardik said there was no dearth of Patidar political leaders if the Foundation's wish was to have the groundbreaking done by a politician. "We have invited the prime minister for the groundbreaking ceremony, and will invite whoever the PM is at the time of its dedication. Patidar quota leader Hardik Patel has written to Vishv Umiya Foundation, an influential Patidar organisation, questioning the invite to prime minister Narendra Modi for the March 4 groundbreaking of the Rs 1,000 crore Umiya Dham project. The invite to PM Modi is an attempt by some community leaders to further their political ambitions," Hardik wrote in the letter to the organisation's office bearers..
