The Patidar Ananmat Andolan Samiti convener Hardik Patel (PAAS) is expected to meet Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel here on Monday to discuss the 'police atrocities' on the Patidars after the August 25 rally in Ahmedabad.
On the eve of the meeting, Patel postponed his 'reverse Dandi March' which was to begin from Dandi in Navsari District from Sunday morning.
Patel, who is leading his community's demand for a quota in government jobs and educational institutions, has warned that the rally will be held if the meeting remains fruitless.

"If they do not come up with any solution by Monday, then by Tuesday (September 15) morning the march would start from Dandi for which the legal permission will be given by the chief minister," he added.
The state government has deputed Minister of State for Energy Saurabh Patel as a mediator for inviting agitating Patidar leaders for the meeting with the chief minister in Gandhinagar.
