NEW DELHI: After accusations that the BJP was attempting to appropriate Congress leaders such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, BR Ambedkar, Subhash Chandra Bose and Narasimha Rao, the grand old party has sought to do the same with former prime minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, visited the memorials of several leaders. He offered floral tributes at the samadhis of Mahatma Gandhi, former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Chaudhary Charan Singh, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi; and former deputy prime minister Babu Jagjivan Ram.
