Ghulam Nabi Azad visits family of Ahmed Patel "Known for his sharp mind, his role in strengthening the Congress Party would always be remembered. An astute Parliamentarian, Patel combined the skills of a strategist and the charm of a mass leader. His amiability won him, friends, across party lines," he said.
"He lived and breathed Congress and stood with the party through its most difficult times. His knowledge of the affairs of the Congress party was unmatched. In his death, the Congress Party and our country, has lost a very good leader who always thought for the betterment of the poor and downtrodden people of the society. We will miss him.
