ENTRY INTO POLITICS
Exactly 100 years ago, January 5, 1917, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel entered public life and began his political career after he won his first municipal bye-election from Dariyapur ward of Ahmedabad --defeating his closest rival by just one vote. From that day on, Sardar never looked back. ‘The Boss’ as he was once called by Time magazine, went on to become the municipal president in February 9, 1924 and led the municipality till 13, April 1928. Today we celebrate this occasion at Gandhi Hall at the municipal corporation heritage building at 5.30 pm. Come to witness the general board hall and the same chair that Sardar once sat on to lead the civic life of its citizens.

TODAY THAT DAY : 27 DECEMBER 1945
Stormy Period Ahead of India
Involved Issues
LONDON, December 25. - Throughout its length and breadth the vast sub-continent of India is today vibrant with party slogans and a flutter with political flags as - over the next four months or so millions go to the polls in what for many of them will be the first election in eight years.
Congress possesses by far the most powerful political organisation. Indeed, it is India's only all-pervading mass organisation, founded in 1883 at the suggestion of a retired British ICS man, with the blessing of the Viceroy, in order-a nice touch this-" to reveal the real wishes of the people"-Congress, with its four anna (4d.) membership fee. now thrusts out its tentacles into all the villages of India.
Congress campaign manager is Sardar Patel, son of a Gujerati farmer and Gandhi's right-hand man since he organised his first no-tax campaigns. Patel has a rather sinister reputation for ruthlessness,
"My only culture is agriculture," he- proudly tells Congress's
bright young men.
In organising his campaign Patel has the inestimable advantage
not only of being able to draw on the almost bottomless coffers of the fabulously rich Seth Bajaj and the Finance Titans of India, the Birla Brothers, but also on an unrivalled galaxy of oratorical talent.
