"We have to take this issue all across the country. And, through cooperation of everyone, the issue of reservation has to be explained to every person, society and state. Reservation has set India 35 years behind," the 22-year-old leader of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti told reporters.

"We will be holding talks with leaders of other communities demanding reservation and see how the movement could be taken forward," said on aide of Hardik, who will address a news conference later in the day.

Hardik has galvanised the dominant Patel community in Gujarat on the reservation demand.
