He helped my family when I was in jail: Hardik Patel
He helped my family when I was in jail for the movement I was leading. For 4 decades he was at helm of major political affairs but was never a minister. His absence will definitely leave a huge void in the lives of Congress people: Hardik Patel, Congress, on demise of Ahmed Patel pic.twitter.com/bpWOADIPEf
Just 2 days back I met #AhmedPatel's family, CM also spoke to them. We even offered to get him to Mumbai in air ambulance. A pillar of Congress fell today. All workers in politics can learn loyalty from him. He was a very polite politician. We're saddened: Sanjay Raut, Shiv Sena pic.twitter.com/0gzzhLnTxO
