Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah unveils 11-ft tall statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

Rajasthan: 08 DEC 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah unveiled an 11-ft tall statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Jodhpur, Rajasthan today. On this occasion, Union Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and many other dignitaries were present.

In his address, Shri Amit Shah said that Sardar Patel is a page of history to which history and the nation both failed to do justice. He mentioned that the virtues, sacrifices, hard work, and foresight of a great man like Sardar Patel are benefiting the country today, but he did not receive the proper recognition and respect earlier. Shri Shah said that for decades, a party steeped in devotion to one family never even built a memorial of Sardar Patel. He highlighted that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi honored Sardar Patel by constructing the world’s tallest Statue of Unity at Kevadia in Gujarat.

Shri Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Modi has decided to celebrate Sardar Patel’s 150th birth anniversary for two years, which he said would lay the foundation for creating a great India. He concluded by stating that the 11-ft tall and 1,100-kilogram statue of Sardar Patel installed today would certainly remind and inspire the younger generation about the principles of Sardar Patel.
