Devegowda went to pay a visit to the 182-meter tall statue of India’s first deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Gujarat’s Kevadia.

When PM Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat, he had announced to build the statue of India’s first Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Patel. Sardar Patel is credited with uniting all 562 princely states of the pre-independent country to build the Republic of India. In October last year, PM Modi had inaugurated the “Statue of Unity” on the occasion of Sardar Patel’s 143rd birth anniversary.
