Surat: Once the tallest Patidar leader in BJP from the city and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s opponent, Dhiru Gajera has returned to the saffron fold on Saturday, beginning his political journey afresh.

His brothers run Laxmi Diamond, a diamond polishing unit, and Laxmi Developers, a real estate development firm, in the city.
On Saturday, Gajera was welcomed back at the party office in the city in an event that was attended by state chief C R Paatil and other BJP leaders. A few of his supporters also joined the BJP on the same day.
