The Highest Statue of Unity

It is to the credit of our founder leader Sardar Ballabh Bhai Patel that we have a united India today. He took over many independent states within India like Hyderabad, Junagardh etc. If it were not for his efforts, there would be many Jammu and Kashmirs in the country. For all his valuable contributions, the secular rogues did not let him receive the recognition that he richly deserved. In fact, he was the most deserving Prime Ministerial candidate of the time and the people of India wanted him to be. When Sri Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, he organised a Run for Unity in celebration of 139th Birth Anniversary of the angel of unity on 31st October 2014 and had soil and iron collected from all parts of India so that the highest Statue of Unity could be erected at the River Narmada in Gujarat in memory of the first and most venerated Home Minister, Sardar Ballabh Bhai Patel. Today the Prime Minister is going to make the world’s largest colossus public in commemoration of his 143rd Birth Anniversary.


There are a very few distrustful people who say that PM Modi squandered money on Statue of Unity. There are certain others who associate it with the park built by former Chief Minister Mayawati. I want to tell them that Unity Sculpture is worth putting by the side of countries historical monuments that attract tourism and are source of foreign exchange. Besides, the Prime Minister built it with the clear intention of spreading the message of national unity and its sovereignty and not of appealing to the emotion of a particular community. He built it not by cutting back on any development and welfare projects; and what is more, the money spent on it cannot be called expenditure but an investment. Finally, nobody could help himself to any commission.
