Ahmed Patel passed away in November 2020 after a prolonged illness. Patel was considered one of the closest leaders of Sonia Gandhi. He was also the political advisor to Sonia Gandhi.
Ahmed Patel kept his son Faisal and daughter Mumtaz away from politics. A few days ago, Faisal had said that he does not know whether he will be able to enter politics easily or not. He said that I am working for Congress from behind the scenes.
In April last year, Faesal had also met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, following which speculations were rife that he would join the AAP.

Ahmed Patel, considered a loyalist of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, was considered the most powerful person in the party after the Gandhi family. In such a situation, just before the Gujarat Assembly elections, Faisal Patel has raised the concern of the party by questioning the Congress leadership. Congress is out of power in Gujarat for the last 27 years and is making every effort to come back.
Patel’s son Faisal was not able to make up his mind to join politics. Last month, he had tweeted saying that he is not yet ‘convinced’ about his formal entry into politics. However, he will work for the party in his home district of Bharuch and Narmada. Also, Faisal had said that from April 1, I will visit 7 assembly seats in Bharuch and Narmada districts. At the same time, political discussion has intensified with this tweet of his.
