The Congress party made a strategic decision to hold a crucial meeting of its Working Committee (CWC) at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Museum in Ahmedabad, as part of its efforts to reassert Patel’s legacy. During the meeting, senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on the BJP-RSS, accusing them of wrongfully claiming Patel’s heritage. Kharge underscored Patel’s historical ban on the RSS and emphasized the strong bond between Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru, aiming to dispel the notion that Congress has marginalized Patel’s contributions. The move is seen as a calculated step by the Congress party to challenge the dominant narrative that has been propagated by its political opponents. By choosing to convene the CWC meeting at the iconic museum dedicated to Patel, the party is signaling a proactive effort to reclaim Patel’s legacy and showcase his enduring relevance in Indian politics. This symbolic gesture is part of a broader strategy to counter the attempts to appropriate Patel’s legacy by the ruling party and its ideological affiliates. The Congress party’s focus on Patel’s legacy also aims to strengthen its own political positioning and appeal to a wider section of the electorate by aligning with the legacy of one of India’s founding fathers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
