Congress treasurer Ahmed Patel’s untimely demise leaves a void not only in Indian politics but also in the imploding Congress party.

  1. So many fine tributes pouring in from journalists who covered the Congress. Keeping UPA afloat for a decade, the lady Captain safe on the bridge, was so much due to the sort of man Shri Ahmed Patel was. What Vinay Satapati would call a Jugalbandi. Rest in peace.

  2. There is now only one temple for the protection of the fundamental rights and liberties of all Indian citizens. Also for preserving and protecting the Constitution. We pray that it remain open and ever vigilant. A more visible, forceful profile is imperative.
