The anger of the Koli and Patidar communities in BJP is not subsiding

Jagdish is cornered

Jagdish Panchal is cornered

Anandiben Patel and Amit Shah have tried to pacify them, but the anger is only growing.

Ahmedabad, October 9, 2025
The entire Koli community in Gujarat is angry after the announcement of the new BJP president. The Kolis, the largest OBC caste in Gujarat, have not been given a place. Pressure is mounting to make them BJP general secretaries. Parshottam Solanki and Kuvar Baoli are silent on this issue. However, Bharat Boghra is happy because he has always been given important positions since joining the BJP after defeating the Congress. He will again be given a key position against Kuvar Baoli.

The Patidar community was angry after the removal of Anandiben Patel. Now, that anger has exploded. When a survey revealed that Leva Patidars were very angry, Amit Shah and Anandiben Patel traveled to Saurashtra. They tried to pacify Jayesh Radadiya. But the Leva community is unwilling to accept this. Jayesh Radadiya is a cooperative leader. People believe he is not a leader of the community.
Amit Shah organized a cooperative conference; it was a cooperative conference, not an election.
In Jamnagar, 21 members of a Patidar family had to announce their suicide, which has angered the Patel community deeply. The Patel community is particularly upset by the actions of Parimal Nathwani, an industrialist close to the BJP, and a BJP MP. The entire community gathered and visited the family. Then a major explosion occurred, and there is widespread anger against the BJP.

Following Anandiben’s expulsion, many believe that Leva Patil is not receiving justice. This is because Bhupendra Patel is a staunch Patidar. When Bhupendra Patel and state president Panchal took the oath publicly, Bhupendra Patel’s body language was negative. He appeared worried. Thus, with the BJP appointing Panchal as state president, internal tensions are likely to flare up. The scuffle and abuse at the Surat BJP office by people from Varachha reflects the anger in Saurashtra.

With the situation where the position of General Secretary has to be chosen from either the Patidar or Koli community, Jagdish Panchal is facing a difficult decision.

Jagdish Panchal is promoting Dr. Boghra and Dhawal Dave. At this time, prominent BJP leaders are also criticizing him. They say that Jagdish Panchal, with 17 years of political experience, lacks the ability to lead the BJP in the right direction because he prioritizes those who came from the Congress. Disgruntled Kolis joined the BJP, having been invisible for 30 years. They try to keep the Koli community happy by projecting the faces of Parshottam Solanki and Kunwar Baoli. However, the common people of the Koli community are no longer happy with the BJP. Because they are demanding the replacement of these two leaders with new leaders, as the Koli community believes that these two leaders have made themselves great in the name of the community.

Thus, all directions are becoming dark for Jagdish. (Google translation from Gujarati)
