On Sardar Patel’s 150th birth anniversary, a major political war of words has erupted. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has reignited the Patel-RSS debate, saying Patel held the RSS responsible for Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. The BJP, meanwhile, has accused the Congress of distorting history and sidelining Patel’s legacy. As both parties claim the ‘Iron Man of India,’ the row has deepened—with the Samajwadi Party also joining in, calling for a renewed stand against divisive ideologies.
