Gujarat Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who has been on indefinite hunger striker for the past 19 days has finally broken his fast as he could not get anyone from the Gujarat govt to talk about his demands. Hardik Patel broke the fast by having lemonade from the hands of Patidar community leaders Naresh Patel and CK Patel.

After ending his fast, the quota leader said, "The fight for quota for my community and farm loan waiver will continue". Hardik had begun his indefinite hunger strike on August 25 at his residence near here, demanding reservation for Patidars under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category and loan waiver for Gujarat farmers.
