The BJP and the Congress have clashed head-on over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru’s role in Jammu and Kashmir. While the BJP has defended first home minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Congress has come to the rescue of Nehru. While praising Patel’s role in unifying the country after independence, Modi blamed Nehru for the problems in Jammu and Kashmir. On the other hand, the Congress defended Nehru. However, while doing so, it presented a critique of Patel and Maharaja Hari Singh, the then ruler of Kashmir.
