<p>Patidar leader Hardik Patel joined the BJP on Thursday, days after quitting the Congress.</p>
<p>He was welcomed in the party by BJP Gujarat unit president C R Patil and former deputy chief minister Nitin Patel.</p>
<p>"Today, I am going to start a new chapter keeping in mind the interests of the nation, region, society and community. I will work as a small soldier in the development work of the nation being carried out under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Hardik tweeted earlier on Thursday.</p>
<p>Hardik (28) who led the Patidar quota agitation in 2015, joined the Congress in 2019.</p>
<p>He resigned from that party on May 18, after claiming in a letter to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi that the party "only played to the role of a roadblock" over certain key issues in the country and was "merely reduced to opposing everything".&nbsp;</p>
