"I have been meeting my supporters since last couple of days and would soon clear my stand on the issue," Radadiya told PTI today when asked whether he would join the BJP.
He met Chief Minister Narendra Modi today in Gandhinagar fuelling speculation on his joining BJP.
His son, Jayesh Radadia, a Congress MLA from Jetpur said, "my father today met CM but I don't know what they have discussed."
He was evasive on the question whether both father and the son were contemplating to join the ruling party in the state.

Radadia, who belongs to leuva Patel community is considered a giant in the state's co-operative sector and a influential leader of farmers from Saurashtra.
It would prove to be a severe blow to the Congress if Radadia joins the BJP and could affect the party in the general elections next year.
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi is eyeing a bigger role after the general elections and would be looking to win maximum number of seats from his home state. Congress had won 12 of the 26 seats in the 2009 elections.
