New Delhi: Patidar Anamat Aandolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel has held a meeting with NCP leaders Praful Patel and Jayant Patel alias Bosky, triggering speculation over his political plans.

The meeting is seen as Hardik's tactic to put pressure on Congress which had recently accepted four of his major demands but kept the one on OBC quota issue pending. 

The PAAS convener claimed that the meeting was focussed just on "exchanging formal greetings”.

Hardik maintained that the meeting was apolitical. "They came to meet me just to convey Diwali greetings. We did not talk about any political issue or regarding the OBC quota," he said.

Bosky, however, gave a different version and said they discussed socio-political condition of Gujarat in the "informal meeting".
