Similarly, every civil servant must read his speeches and every politician must imbibe great qualities of Patel like integrity, firmness, and keeping people’s interest at heart, he said.
Highlighting some of the great qualities of Sardar Patel, the vice president said, “His love for motherland, leadership qualities, simplicity, honesty, integrity, down-to-earth nature, pragmatic approach to resolving knotty problems, earthly wisdom, discipline, and organising skills will always remain an inspiration for every Indian.”
Naidu called upon every citizen to work together towards realising the dream of Sardar Patel.
Naidu recalled that Patel earned the reputation of ”Iron Man” because of the manner in which he brought about and maintained internal stability as the home minister in the wake of the Partition.
