Journalists on Monday walked out of a press conference called by Hardik Patel here in protest against the behaviour of the Patel quota agitation leader. Hardik, the 22-year-old who has shot to the forefront of the agitation, arrived late by almost 45 minutes for the press conference.
After reaching the venue, he said if the reporters wanted to listen to him they can stay or else they can leave as he was not going to change his behaviour towards the media. Peeved at his remarks, reporters from both print and broadcast media decided to walk out of the conference.
