BJP has, over the past decade, drawn on Congress' leadership pantheon. It took advantage of the latter's tendency to predominantly play up the legacy of the Nehru-Gandhi family while paying little or no attention to the contribution of others. As result, today, BJP has acquired a reasonable degree of ownership on legacies of leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, B R Ambedkar and Subhas Chandra Bose.
