Had Sardar Patel Been Prime Minister, Entire Kashmir Would've Been Ours: PM Modi | Read
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tore into the Congress while replying to the Motion of Thanks on President's Address. Mr Modi directly attacked the Gandhis and the Congress saying, democracy is not a Gandhi trademark but India's tradition and his government does not need a lesson on it. The Prime touched upon all the states heading to polls this year, including Karnataka and the Northeast. In a bid to calm ally TDP in Andhra Pradesh, he alleged former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi "humiliated" leaders from the state.
"Out of 15 Congress committees, 12 chose Vallabhbhai Patel, 3 chose not to take any sides, and still, Vallabhbhai Patel was not allowed to lead the country. What sort of democracy was that? If Sardar Patel had become the prime minister, today a part of our beloved Kashmir would not have been under Pakistani occupation," said the Prime Minister. (Video Courtesy: Lok Sabha TV)
