Speaking to ANI, Congress leader Mumtaz Patel said, “The good news is that we will now see Priyanka ji in Parliament with a landslide victory in Wayanad. The party is leading in both Gujarat and all 3 seats in Karnataka in bypolls. Our alliance is also leading in Jharkhand. It is saddening to see the results coming from Maharashtra. On this occasion, I remember my father Ahmed Patel because Maha Vikas Aghadi was his brainchild.
“Ahmed Patel used to say and do things with seriousness. He used to make decisions by taking everyone along. Like he used to do, there is a need for people who only think about the interest of the party and keep personal interests behind,” she added.
