Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani today slammed opposition Congress party for remark by its spokesperson that Indira Gandhi was a bigger leader than Sardar Patel.

Congress spokesperson Aalok Sharma in a TV debate on News18 India TV channel yesterday said Indira Gandhi was bigger leader than Sardar Patel. Sharma said this in response to question asked by TV anchor Sumit Avasthi regarding smaller photo for Sardar Patel compared to Indira Gandhi at Congress office on anniversary of both leaders. Birth anniversary of Sardar Patel and death anniversary of Indira Gandhi both fall on October 31st.

Congress has been time and again criticized for ‘injustice’ to Sardar Patel by Gandhi-Nehru family which controls the party.

Reacting to Congress remark, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on twitter said: For Congress ‘Indira Gandhi is a bigger leader than Sardar’. Congress Party’s long standing hatred for Sardar Patel on display yet again. People of Gujarat will give a fitting reply to the repeated injustice & insult to Sardar Patel in the coming elections!
