Asked about statements by BJP leaders to probe scams during Congress regime and having an accountability commission, Patel said, “Let them do it. We are not afraid of anybody. We have faced it in the past also...They have gone to the extent that they even included the name of Rajiv Gandhi into the FIR.”
He also said that “first of all, they are not going to come to power, and even if they come to power, we are not afraid as we have not done anything wrong.”
Patel also came out in defence of Congress Vice President, Rahul Gandhi saying he had not carried out any personal attack against BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
