Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel has renamed his controversial _‘reverse Dandi Yatra’_ as _`Ekta Yatra’_ as he met Chief Minister Anandiben Patel during which he demanded the
suspension of policemen who used force during the August 25 rally and release of protestors who are in custody. After the first face-to-face between Patel and the Chief Minister, the

that Patel leaders agreed to approach the Commission. The meeting between Patel leaders including Hardik Patel and Lalji Patel with the Chief Minister Anandiben Patel and senior ministers
