"Modi has Sardar Patel's thought process" : Jaishankar
"There is one leader, who has the thought process of Sardar Patel....," External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar
said hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Interacting with students of MS University at Sayaji Nagar Gruh in Vadodara, Dr Jaishankar said
if not for the “tragedy of the partition”, India could have been the largest country in the world.
“The partition has created a problem for what was once Indian. The best way of realising the dream of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is for India to be confident and successful and come to terms with this India,"he said.
"There is one leader, who has the thought process of Sardar Patel and is realising the vision of Sardar Patel, and who has the same confidence as Sardar Patel — you know who it is,” he remarked.
