BJP MP Dhaval Patel Claims Vansda MLA Anant Patel Preparing to Quit Congress for Aam Aadmi Party
The political landscape of South Gujarat is witnessing a massive upheaval following explosive allegations made by Valsad-Dang Member of Parliament, Dhaval Patel. Speaking to the media after a high-profile “Disha” meeting held at the hill station of Saputara, the MP launched a blistering attack on Vansda’s Congress MLA, Anant Patel. According to Dhaval Patel, the Congress legislator is currently orchestrating a strategic exit from his party to join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). These claims have sent shockwaves through the regional political circles, as Anant Patel has long been the face of tribal protests in the area. The MP suggested that the groundwork for this defection is already complete, hinting at a secret alliance between the Congress MLA and AAP leadership that could redefine the power dynamics of the tribal belt ahead of the 2027 Gujarat Assembly elections.
MP Dhaval Patel pointed towards a series of tactical shifts in Anant Patel’s public appearance as evidence of his impending switch. He noted that approximately eighty percent of the MLA’s recent public programs and events are being conducted under his personal banner rather than the official Congress party banner. This gradual distancing from the Congress identity is seen by political observers as a clear sign of growing friction between the MLA and his party’s high command. The MP alleged that Anant Patel is trying to save his political career by jumping onto the AAP ship, realizing that the Congress party’s influence is rapidly waning in the state. Furthermore, the MP accused Anant Patel of being silent while AAP leader Chaitar Vasava actively recruits hundreds of Congress workers, suggesting a “hidden understanding” between the two tribal leaders to weaken the Congress from within.
During his aggressive address, Dhaval Patel also clarified the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) stance on the matter, stating that the doors of the BJP are permanently closed for leaders like Anant Patel. He characterized the MLA as having an “anti-Hindu” and “anti-tribal” mindset, asserting that the BJP only welcomes those committed to the national and cultural development of India. The MP backed his claims with electoral data, highlighting that in the 2022 Assembly elections, the BJP secured twenty-three out of twenty-seven tribal-reserved seats, and continued its dominance in the recent Lok Sabha polls. He cited the victory of Mansukh Vasava over Chaitar Vasava in Bharuch as proof that the tribal community remains firmly behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development agenda, dismissing Anant Patel’s influence as a mere “political stunt” to maintain personal relevance.
The MP’s remarks also extended to the Congress state leadership, including Shaktisinh Gohil and Amit Chavda. He remarked that the Congress is being hollowed out by its own MLAs, while the leadership remains a helpless spectator. Dhaval Patel argued that Anant Patel’s move toward AAP is a desperate attempt to find a safer political alternative after sensing a certain defeat in 2027. He alleged that the MLA is playing a dangerous game of political survival under the guise of tribal welfare. These accusations have created an intense atmosphere in South Gujarat, with everyone now waiting for a response from the Vansda MLA. As the war of words escalates, the political climate in Navsari and Dang is expected to remain volatile, marking the beginning of a pre-election battle centered on tribal identity and party loyalty.
