Congress stakes claim for Patel’s legacy

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Staking claim to the legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, independent India’s first home minister, TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy said that it was a collective decision of the Jawaharlal Nehru government to send armed forces to free Hyderabad State from the clutches of the Nizam. After hoisting the National Flag at Gandhi Bhavan marking the commencement of the year-long Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations, Revanth Reddy asked Union home Minister Amit Shah if he was in the city without the prior approval of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. You don’t have the moral right to even garland his state,” Reddy said, referring to Amit Shah. Revanth Reddy questioned BJP leaders, particularly Union minister G. Kishan Reddy, why there were no celebrations in Gujarat’s Junagadh,which was another princely state that had resisted merger with the Indian Union.
