C. B. Patel has clearly explained, how good intentioned reservation has grown into monster and its relation to campaign by PAAS. Please read carefully to understand ramifications affecting Patels/allies, Gujarat and nation.
Patels are not selfish, as they have included more than 7 other castes in PAAS campaign. Writer has praised historically provable courage/fortitude of the whole community by citing Bardoli incident. He has urged leader to be peaceful /reasonable. C.B.Patel has distanced himself from the leader's inflammatory statements.
Hardik correctly used Hindi to attract national attention, but giving minimum coverage to reservation issue and wanton attack on Chief Minister/ BJP/Modi is undesirable.
It is evident that reservation deprives Patels/allies from school/ college education and government jobs, I suggest that those deprived of opportunities from government sector to create private sector in education and non-governmental jobs for Patidars and allies only. Such private sector free from vote bank and appeasement politics can be a role model similar to some communities.
