Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi paid visit to the residence of Hardik Patel on Sunday and extended his support to pro-quota agitation saying that the Government should give reservation to Patidar community. Manjhi said that the State Government was doing sin by keeping the young leader starving since the past nine days.
“My blessings are with Hardik. I am sad that youngsters have to go on fast for their rights. I invite Hardik to raise issues of farmers in Bihar also,” said the 73-year-old founder of political outfit Hindustani Awam Morcha.

Sources said that nearly 3000 Patidars belonging to Himatnagar district in North Gujarat were stopped by the police as they wanted to meet Hardik.
