Congress Faces Criticism Over Silence on Sardar Patel’s 150th Birth Anniversary
NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently questioned the Congress party regarding its apparent silence during President Droupadi Murmu’s announcement of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This moment, celebrated by NDA MPs with applause, was marked by noticeable quiet from Congress members.
BJP MP Sambit Patra highlighted this contrast, stating, “While NDA MPs were clapping and welcoming the announcement, Congress was silent, its MPs were quiet.” This lack of response from prominent Congress leaders, including Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka Gandhi, has drawn particular attention.
Gujarat Home Minister’s Accusations
Adding to the discourse, Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi accused Congress of historically undermining Patel’s legacy. The BJP has consistently positioned itself as the protector of Patel’s contributions to India, contrasting sharply with Congress’s perceived indifference.
This situation underscores the ongoing political rivalry between the two parties, particularly as they navigate the complex legacy of one of India’s most esteemed leaders, Sardar Patel.
