Bharat Solanki, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee President, said:"If Hardik Patel wants to contest the election, then Congress invites him to do so."

Subsequently, Hardik Patel told ANI,"Constitutionally speaking, I can't contest the election and I don't need to, in the first place."

"Although I believe we must unite against BJP, this isn't a BJP-Congress election but of 6 crore people of Gujarat," he added.

BJP-ruled Gujarat is likely to go to polls in November.
