Coming from Gujarat, Ahmed Patel was considered close to Sonia Gandhi and troubleshooter of Congress. But now after the death of Ahmed Patel, his son Faisal Patel is seen increasing the crisis of Congress. He has tweeted indicating this. He tweeted and wrote, ‘Tired of waiting. There is no encouragement from the high command. I am going by keeping my options open. His tweet is being linked to Faisal Patel’s next political move. It is even being said that before the Gujarat Assembly elections, he can leave the Congress and join the hands of any other party.
Faisal Patel’s father Ahmed Patel was part of the top leadership of the Congress for decades and was close to Sonia Gandhi. Ahmed Patel died in November 2020 due to Corona. In his tweet, Faisal Patel made no mention of what kind of encouragement he was expecting from the high command. However, given his political background, it is being speculated that he may debut in politics and he may do so through some other political party than Congress.
Faisal Patel has also expressed his desire to contest elections
There is speculation about the lack of encouragement that perhaps he was expecting an important role in Gujarat from the Congress, which he could not get. Earlier, Faisal Patel had indicated that he may contest from Bharuch on a Congress ticket in the Gujarat Assembly elections. After the death of his father, Faisal Patel had said that I am interested in how he can carry forward the social work started by Ahmed Patel. The Patel family owns two hospitals and a school, which they run.
Faisal Patel met Arvind Kejriwal
Faisal Patel had said, ‘If the high command wants, then I will contest the elections. My choice would be Bharuch area, which has been my locality. Significantly, Faisal Patel has also had a meeting with Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal. There was a lot of discussion about that meeting. In such a situation, due to this tweet of Faisal Patel, there are also speculations that he may be a part of Aam Aadmi Party in future.
