Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's ideology was contrary to RSS' ideas and he had even banned the organisation. He added it's laughable that RSS, which "has no contribution" in freedom struggle, claims Patel's legacy. "BJP-RSS conspired to show that relationship between Patel and ex-PM Jawaharlal Nehru was such that the two...were against each other," he added.
