Thakore is said to be part of the Trinity, along with Dalit leader Jignesh Mewani and Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who may turn Gujarat elections in the favour of Congress. Thakore, an OBC leader, had joined the Congress in October.
Thakor, convenor of the Gujarat OBC Ekta Manch and leader of the local Thakore Sena, has a strong appeal among backward classes, having worked actively on drug de-addiction in the state. Apart from this, Thakore also alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party has ignored the interests of OBCs.
