Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in an exclusive interview with Network18’s Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi at News18’s ‘Gujarat session’ on Monday that Congress has no right to name Sardar Patel and do injustice to his legacy. Not there. The manifesto states that Narendra Modi The stadium in Gujarat will be named after the former PM.
“The Gandhi-Nehru family tried to ensure that they did not get their due. From his last rites to the memorial and Bharat Ratna for him, he did nothing but obstruct. What are they saying?” Shah said.
About the stadium, he said: “There is a stadium called Narendra Modi Stadium. Congress is lying… A sports complex is being built, which is being called Sardar Patel Complex, which has 18 stadiums for various sports. One of them is named after Modi… After Modi became the PM, we started putting up Patel’s photo. We haven’t seen his picture for 50 years.”
The Home Minister further took a dig at the Congress and said that the people of Gujarat will not fall for the lies of the Congress. He also said that if Sardar Patel had not been there, India It would have been a divided country.
“PM Modi built the world’s biggest statue for Patel. He took iron from the tools used by 8.5 crore workers for the statue of the farmer leader and Iron Man. Not a single Congress leader paid tribute there. They didn’t go because Modi built it, but because it’s Patel’s statue… They didn’t do anything, no scheme in his name, no Bharat Ratna… BJP did it and now they are advocating for him Huh. He has always done injustice to Patel.
The Gujarat Assembly elections will be held in two phases on December 1 and 5, while the counting of votes will take place on December 8.
