Rajaji served as the country's Home Minister for nearly 10 months. He at that time warned Nehru about the expansionist designs of China and also expressed regret over the Tibet problem, his views being in par with that of Sardar Patel, his predecessor. Look, Rajaji would have landed Indian troops in Tibet to defend Tibet's independence. He had also expressed concern over the demands made about establishing new states on a linguistic basis, saying that it would generate differences amongst the people. He wanted states to be demarcated taking administrative convenience into picture and not linguistic boundaries. Once in a cabinet meeting regarding Foreign Policy, Rajaji made a point and Nehru's view was different to that of Rajaji. The other sycophantic members in the meeting also supported Nehru. Nehru turned to Rajaji and said "See Rajaji, the majority is with me!". To this Rajaji retorted "Yes, Jawaharlal! The majority is with you, but the logic is with me!". Nehru laughed and supported Rajaji's proposal.
