Rajnath: Patel said he could have integrated Kashmir like Hyderabad

Paying tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his 151st birth anniversary, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recalled how Patel firmly dealt with the Nizam and Razakars in Hyderabad. Rajnath said Patel himself had remarked that, had Jawaharlal Nehru not intervened, he would have integrated Kashmir as easily as Hyderabad. He also said power must change through elections, not coups.
