When asked about the plans to contest elections, Patel stated that when he was preparing for his sister’s wedding in 2017, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had supplied to send him to the Rajya Sabha but he had refused citing his age.

He stated that Gujarat or India’s youth does not look at who is the regional candidate since he has no understanding of politics.
