Senior trustee of Khodaldham, Kagvad, a religious and social institution of Leuva Patel community in Saurashtra, Naresh Patel, is back at the helm of affairs in the organisation. Earlier, a controversy had surfaced in the trust after Patel himself had tendered resignation from all positions in Khodaldham but then had withdrawn after a widespread protest in Saurashtra against Gajera by the youth of Patel community supporting Patel. He, however, took over the charge again after the incumbent chairman Paresh Gajera resigned on Saturday. Patel immediately assumed the charge as chairman in Khodaldham. Patel was the chairman of the trust but had resigned over political and personal reasons.

Senior trustee of Khodaldham, Kagvad, a religious and social institution of Leuva Patel community in Saurashtra, Naresh Patel, is back at the helm of affairs in the organisation. Patel was the chairman of the trust but had resigned over political and personal reasons. He, however, took over the charge again after the incumbent chairman Paresh Gajera resigned on Saturday. At a meeting of the trustee board of Khodaldham, held on Saturday morning at this religious place located near Rajkot in Saurashtra region, the outgoing president Gajera announced the proposal for his resignation citing personal reasons. Talking to the media persons in Rajkot, Patel said, "There is no difference among trustees of Khodaldham and no political rivalry prevails in us. Paresh is like a younger brother to me and he wanted to relieve as he is loaded with responsibilities of his business. He wasn't able to make time for us as he is also the president of the Gujarat builders' association. We will soon find young incumbent for the post of president." "I would like to convey the message among the Saurashtra Leuva Patidar Community that I have accepted this responsibility in a very congenial atmosphere and there is no controversy or conflict in trust. We have to carry out many tasks for development of our community and we need cooperation from all," he added. Patel immediately assumed the charge as chairman in Khodaldham. Earlier, a controversy had surfaced in the trust after Patel himself had tendered resignation from all positions in Khodaldham but then had withdrawn after a widespread protest in Saurashtra against Gajera by the youth of Patel community supporting Patel.
