Natvarsinh Solanki was a Koli elite who was running 'Charotar Kshatriya Koli Samaj' but later he was made co-editor of ' Bandu ' organisation by in 1947. Solanki and Mahida both decided to form an organization called Gujarat Kshatriya Sabha which would be for the Koli castes, which would benefit both the castes. Koli will be considered Kshatriya and Rajputs will benefit in the politics of Gujarat as Koli caste has the highest population in Gujarat and both are enemies of [[Patidar]] caste.<ref name=":0" /><br />
