Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed the various development projects in India and said that the country will grab the world's attention on the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel this year.
"We celebrate Sardar Patel's birth anniversary every year, but this time we will grab the attention of the entire world. In Gujarat, Sardar sahab's statue — the tallest in the world is being built," said Modi addressing to Indian diaspora.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a statue of Sardar Patel, described by the Gujarat government as the world's tallest, on the birth anniversary of India's first home minister on October 31.
Erected on the banks of the River Narmada in Gujarat, the structure is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US. On Sunday, Modi had said that October 31 will be special as the statue of unity will be dedicated to the nation as a 'true tribute' to Sardar Patel.
