The meet will be held at Mehasana on June 8, Congress announced here today.
This will be for the first time in a decade that the party would be organising a large gathering of the community.
Senior Congress leader Narhari Amin said that the Patels account for "around 1.5 crore out of the total population of six crore" in the state.
"But they have been ignored under the Modi government," he alleged.
The community has been a strong base for the BJP and is responsible for the party's long stint here.
The meet comes at a time when Keshubhai Patel, a known detractor of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, has come out in open against him.
He had recently hosted a meeting of dissident BJP leaders to chalk out a strategy against Modi in the run-up to the assembly elections.
He will also be going to Dholkha in Ahmedabad district tomorrow to attend a community meet, which is expected to be attended by lakhs of people. (MORE)
