Who can forget the famous picture of former defence minister George Fernandes in handcuffs when emergency was imposed? Detention under MISA during the time became badges on the sleeves for many and quite a big number of people have been catapulted into power just because of their that stint into jail. Things have changed with the passing time still this has been more or less the case for people active in the social for any cause whatsoever it may be whether it was Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar aka Rawan or Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who too has been sent to jail many a times. This has added to their popularity for sure.

JNU leader Kanhaiya Kumar and Omar Khalid were sent to jail but that increased their fan following manyfold, sending jail to Hardik Patel is increasing his support base by the day with age being by his side for him being a young leader. There are many other in this list. But people have started saying that he is the future leader of Gujarat.

Crackdown on Hardik is making him not only mature but more popular among Patidars. This is the fact he is well aware off so he is getting more and more into it. Let’s see which way it goes?
