Gujarat Congress president Chavda said that Patel had dedicated his entire life to the community, state, and country, and not for himself or his family.
“In public life, he did not maintain a political relation, but an intimate family relation. We have lost a father figure and a member of our family. The state and the country have lost an excellent leadership,” Chavda said.
