PM-Modi face off over Sardar Patel legacy

The duo was seen laughing on stage minutes before they shared the honours of inaugurating a museum dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the iconic leader from Gujarat who became India's first Home Minister. But the tenor changed considerably once the speeches began. Mr Modi went first. "If Sardar Patel had been the first Prime Minister, India would have been different," he said.
