Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue representative of true unity of the nation, in Gujarat on Friday.
Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani welcomed Yogi Adityanath and accompanied him during his visit and briefed him about the statue and adjoining attractions, which include the Valley of Flowers, Tent City, Sardar Museum and the Wall of Unity.
Yogi Adityanath paid tributes to the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and said that this tallest statue of the Sardar had become a global identity of the nation.
“This, world’s tallest statue of Sardar Patel, is a befitting tribute to the true ‘Sardar’ of this country,” he said.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has opened the doors to the path of development by providing irrigation water to farmers, as imagined by Sardar Patel. This statue has opened up the opportunities for guides by developing it as a tourist spot,” Yogi said.
