On the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the Congress party of concealing two assassination attempts on the Iron Man of India that occurred in 1939. According to BJP, these attacks were orchestrated by the Muslim League as Patel was uniting princely states through the Prajamandal Movement. The first attempt took place on January 20, 1939, in Vadodara, where Muslim League-backed mobs attacked Patel’s procession, shouting slogans and pelting stones, even setting the Prajamandal office ablaze. The second violent attack occurred on May 14, 1939, in Bhavnagar during a peaceful procession, where 57 armed assailants hiding inside Nagina Mosque attacked Patel’s open jeep. Two patriots, Bachubhai Patel and Jadhavbhai Modi, were martyred protecting Patel. The British government investigated and brought the accused to trial, with two sentenced to death and several others to life imprisonment. BJP criticized Congress historians for erasing these events from textbooks and archives, calling it an “uncomfortable truth” hidden for 86 years. The party called for the recognition of Patel’s steadfastness amidst internal betrayal during India’s freedom struggle. Congress has yet to issue an immediate response to these allegations.
