[Letter to Mr Dahyabhi Patel]

Summary

This one-page letter from M. R. Masani to Dahyabhai Patel, dated 19 April 1962, concerns electoral and parliamentary manoeuvring. Masani reports sending a telegram to Raja Raghavendra Pratap Singh of Pankapur, identified as a leader in the U.P. Assembly, while acknowledging that he does not believe they can control the candidate.

Masani also encloses a letter and telegram sent to Mr. Wahida concerning the Deputy Speaker’s election, apparently for Patel’s consideration in the Upper House. The page records a specific political exchange rather than a developed argument or policy programme.
