Ahmedabad, Nov 13 (IANS): An alleged sex video of 24-year-old pro-reservation Patidar leader Hardik Patel was telecast on local Gujarati TV channels here on Monday, with the firebrand youngster laughing it away as an expected ploy to defame him though it heated up the political climate in poll-bound Gujarat.
The video shows a Hardik Patel-lookalike with an unidentified woman, fully clothed and with her back to the camera, and then the room turns dark.
Reacting, Patel said, "I had been saying for some time that all such dirty things, including such a video, would be flung at me, but I don't care and I will continue my fight against the BJP."
His supporters claimed the video was morphed.
Patel said it was a conspiracy against him by the ruling BJP, which was "known to be adept at this".
He pointed out that sometime ago, BJP insiders floated such a video of one of their own leaders Sanjay Joshi.

Wed, Nov 15 2017In the new era of PM Modi's 'Digital India', Zee TV found chip in newly printed Indian currency which can beam signals deeper than the crust of earth which can transmit signal to satellite 7 skies above. Indians believed and stood outside the banks and waited for their own savings to withdraw. The same channel went to JNU campus were poor student across India who can't afford higher education with pity stipend to pursue their academic all of sudden found in 'doctored video' shouting slogans of 'azadi'.
Rafale fighter jet deal we have to check how Indian print media reported the price escalation issue when the deal was negotiated for 126 fighters. The first one was Zee owned DNA when, quoting an unnamed MoD official, its report said that the price had gone up by 100% to reach almost 28-30 billion US dollars. A flurry of media reports followed over the next one year. Indian Express, Financial Express, Business Standard, Economic Times and Times of India reported 20 billion US dollars, The Hindu was more economical at 18 billion US dollars along with Hindustan Times and Live Mint. But what was the actual price being negotiated?
We have to go backwards from the sealed price for 36 fighters. India closed the deal at 8.8 billion US dollars for 36 units. One ET report mentioned that higher price of the deal was circulated by BJP and advertised by BJP IT cell. But the story appears to have been taken down by Economic Times now.
BJP has stooped down to the level of personal politics. The video, which was apparently recorded in May, has been put out now?
“BJP is a CD manufacturing factory. They don’t just go after their rivals they will even take down those within their fold who do not toe their line. They are afraid of losing power in Gujarat and are bound to take extreme measures. No woman has lodged a complaint against Hardik, so how is this a sex scandal? BJP doesn’t want to talk about farmers, inflation and unemployment. This is all that they are capable off.”

Tue, Nov 14 2017BJP’s frustration is understood. This Hardik patel can dent BJP’s hope of retaining power in Gujarat. They are trying hard to remove him from their way by hook or crook. Or they will buy him. Let’s wait n see. But one thing is clear he has given sleepless nights to daku & feku.

Mon, Nov 13 2017Modiji,
You are making Hardick Patel more popular by releasing this tape....those who did not know who is Hardik will know now...and some of them may even vote for him...
If similar tape comes about you and Shah perhaps people will not be interested to watch!!!...
