Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was an
Indian statesman and the commander in chief of the
Indian National Congress next to
Mohandas Gandhi. Due to his efforts, the Congress registered 100% victory in elections in
1937. Sardar Patel was the would-be Prime Minister of India supported by most of Congress members. Only on persuasion from Gandhi, he stepped back from the Prime Ministerial Candidate election and left the path open for
Jawaharlal Nehru.
