Doctor’s Explained How Hardik Patel Gained Weight During Hunger Strike

The doctors have reportedly revealed that the cause of unexpected weight gain in Hardik Patel’s body during his indefinite fast was a faulty weighing machine.

Indian social activist and Patidar leader Hardik Patel have been on an indefinite hunger strike since August 25 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. While Hardik Patel has not consumed any food or water for 14 days now, he is demanding reservation in jobs and education and farm loan waivers for the Patidar community from the Gujarat state government. Apparently, this indefinite fast by Hardik Patel has been supported by the Congress Party in opposition to the ruling BJP government.

25-year-old Hardik Patel has been working for reservation of Patidar community since July 2015 when he formed the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) aiming to include Patidars in the OBC quota.

However, on the 15th day of the fast, Hardik Patel was hospitalized due to his deteriorating health conditions. While his protest continued from the hospital bed, political leaders including Sharad Yadav from Loktantrik Janata Dal and former Union Minister and DMK leader A Raja has also visited Patel at the hospital extending their support to the social activist.

Apparently, in the Sola Civil Hospital, Hardik was administered glucose due to his loss in weight of 20 kg. However, shockingly, the media reports have something else to claim. Incidentally, before beginning the fast, Hardik Patel’s weight was 78 kg, but on Sept 4, his weight was measured to be down to 58 kg. But surprisingly, on Sept 5, after his medical check-up, his weight was recorded to be 65 kg.
