Patidar quota leader, Hardik Patel, has claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) may try to defame him by using a fake sex CD just before the Gujarat election.
Speaking to The Times of India, Patel said,"The BJP has prepared a doctored sex CD to defame me and it will be released just before the election. What else can one expect from the BJP? So just wait, watch and enjoy."
Earlier on Friday, Patel alleged that the BJP would indulge in unfair practices during the upcoming Assembly polls in Gujarat, citing the rejection of 3,550 VVPAT machines by the Election Commission due to various defects.

"3,550 VVPAT machines failed in the first level test by the Election Commission. I am very much sure that BJP will fight the Assembly polls through unfair means only," Patel tweeted today.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) for Gujarat, B B Swain, on Wednesday had announced that they rejected 3,550 Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines as these were found to be defective in the first level checks (FLCs), a standard procedure followed ahead of polls.
A total of 70,182 VVPAT machines, which are attached with EVM machines, will be used in the state Assembly polls to be held in two phases on December 9 and 14.

Swain refuted Patel's claims, saying the discovery of defective VVPATs should be taken in a positive manner.
