“After the Congress’s invite, I reached the hotel on Sunday at 3 am. I met their Gujarat in-charge Ashok Gehlot. As it was too late, I decided to stay back at the hotel … But they ( Bharatiya Janata Party) got the CCTV camera clips leaked because everything here (in Gujarat) is their property,” Patel said.
