Gujarat Unveils Sardar Patel's 30-Feet Statue Saturday Oct 31,2015

 Gujarat Unveils Sardar Patel's 30-Feet Statue
Touted to be the tallest so far in the state, a 30 feet statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was unveiled by Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel in capital Gandhinagar on Saturday Oct 31,2015 to mark the 140th birth anniversary of the Indian freedom movement icon.

The statue is a scaled down replica of the proposed 182-feet 'Statue of Unity' to come up near Sardar Sarovar Dam in South Gujarat.

The 30-feet statue of Sardar Patel has been built at an estimated cost of Rs. 80 crores and is part of the Statue of Unity project initiated by the then Chief Minister and now Prime Minister Narendra Modi five years ago.
