Gujarat's Patidar quota agitation spearhead Hardik Patel on Sunday said he has no intention to join any political party and is raising demand of reservation under constitutional limit.

After reaching Udaipur to spend six months, Patel said that he neither has any intention to join any political party nor to form any party but he will continue to work for the social cause.

When asked whether he will go to Uttar Pradesh for campaigning against BJP, Patel, who is staying in the house of a former Congress MLA here, said that he would not do so.

He said other issues like that of farmers and marginal people and corruption should also be raised and given priority.
