The family migrated to [[Saurashtra (region)\|Saurashtra]] and ran a flour mill in Rajkot. [[Jana Sangh]] veterans like former chief minister [[Shankersinh Vaghela]], who knew Keshubhai for 55 years, says he ran this mill in Hathikhana area of [[Rajkot]] for a living, and described him as a "self-made" man who built the party from scratch. Patel told ''[[The Indian Express]]'' in 2015 that "Many Patels from [[Amreli]] and [[Junagadh]] are Desais––clerks who collected taxes from land owners and were found in the tiny state of Vaso near [[Nadiad]] and in [[Saurashtra (state)\|Saurashtra]].
