Ahmed Patel: The only non-Gandhi who ruled the party without being in power

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Days after the Maharashtra election results in October 2019, there was an informal discussion in the top circles of the Congress about the unthinkable. From being an eight-time parliamentarian from Gujarat, treasurer of the Congress party, parliamentary secretary to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and political secretary to Sonia Gandhi--Patel has donned many hats within the party. After Rajiv Gandhi’s demise in 1991, Patel for a transient phase lost his prominence but emerged stronger a year later when he got one of the highest number of votes during the party’s Tirupati session. Recalling one such incident, a party functionary said that debunking such claims Patel once told a group of young leaders that ‘Rahul Gandhi is the son of Rajiv Gandhi and no Congressman should ever forget that’. Whether it was being the bridge between friendly parties such as Mulayam Singh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party, Lalu Prasad Yadav-led Rashtriya Janata Dal, Shibu Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha or Pawar-led NCP, Patel has been the first point of contact for the Gandhi family in all such political relations and had good relations with several leaders from across the aisle in the National Democratic Alliance.
