Congress leader and MLA Amin Patel called the reports of him leaving the Congress Party "false and baseless", saying that he is firmly committed to the grand old party.

"My dear supporters and well-wishers. There are rumours circulating about my departure from the Congress Party. I want to clarify that these claims are false and baseless. I am firmly committed to the Congress Party. Thank you for your support today and always!" Patel posted on X.
