According to a report published in The Times of India, Patel met senior AAP functionaries and expressed his willingness to join the party along with some academicians and intellectuals "in order to fight Modi's corruption".
Patel, who has been living separately for about 20 years now, had written several letters to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani to complain against Modi's growing influence over his wife two decades ago.
"Mafatlal Patel, 77, a Gandhian popularly known as Mafatbhai, had married Anandiben some 50 years ago but they have been living separately for about 20 years now. The differences started in 1985 when his wife, then a school principal, was roped into the BJP by Modi. He wrote several letters to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani to complain against Modi’s growing influence over his wife. He even campaigned against Anandiben in previous assembly elections. "
