Tarun Gajjar, the person who slapped Hardik Patel at an election rally in Surendranagar on Friday, claimed that he was not connected with any political party, but had done so to teach the Patidar reservation stir leader a lesson.
Gajjar suffered severe injuries after he was overpowered and beaten up by Congress workers and Hardik's supporters. He was admitted to hospital, where he told reporters that he had suffered personally because of Hardik's protests, and was planning to attack Hardik for over three years.
