Bharuch is where the late Ahmed Patel came from. A lot would not have happened with Ahmed Patel around. The Congress sorely requires an Ahmed Patel, someone with the depth of understanding and the deftness of touch he possessed.

To devise brakes on it would require, at the very least, the re-invention of an Ahmed Patel, and a leadership keenly informed on the necessity of such a re-invention.
