WHY WAS THE LATE AHMAD PATEL IMPORTANT TO THE CONGRESS
1. Ahmad Patel was right hand of Sonia Gandhi. Everyone work under him except Sonia Gandhi.
2. He was owner of most of the madarsas in India. His family members are VC of Deoband institutions. His cousins run chain of madarsa
3. He and Farooq Abdullah share family relations. He had links in Kerala. He was gateway of Arab money to India.
4. He controlled entire media chain. He is the one on whose command Vineet Jain threw Arnab out from Times Now. Ahmed Patel's people are placed in all TV channels.
5. There are fleet of corporate cadres under his influence like Nilekani, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Narayan and many NGO runners.
6. He was the one who backtracked three orders when RAW had got Dawood. From Samjhauta, Ajmer to Mumbai blast, he managed everything from media narrativ
7. He recruited everyone between 2004-2014 from judiciary, secretary to media editors.
8. You can imagine his power that he jailed sitting Home Minister Amit Shah for more than 4 months and his entire state
intelligence team for 8 years led by DIG Vanzara.
9. He was the man behind Augusta Westland to Spectrum. He was prime broker. Sonia Gandhi favored Ahmad Patel more than Rahul Gandhi.
10. He openly captured 44 MLA and had wasted crores in resort. Neither media nor law asked him how he could do that.
Even when he was not in power, he had shown his power when he required 45 votes knowing that he would get 44 votes only. He went to EC and EC disqualified 2 votes within hours. Video shows no malpractice and one can check the video. Despite the presence of NDA cabinet ministers
Ahmad Patel made sure EC make him winner.
This is equal to winning of a state election. He reduced Congress from 57 to 42 but Congress made sure he wins. He was lifeline of Sonia Gandhi.
But for all his trickery, corona defeated him..
