Patel added that the Congress never took credit for the military actions conducted during its regime, and said whether it was the 1971 war or the recent air strikes, the credit must go to the forces.
"They wish to win elections anyhow. We never took credit whether it was air strikes or Bangladesh war, credit must go to forces. It's not Congress's insult, it's an insult of jawans," Patel told media.
