EKTA NAGAR/PATNA: Attacking Congress for “leaving no stone unturned to erase Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s legacy” and ignoring his function in uniting the nation after Independence, residence minister Amit Shah Thursday stated the Modi govt had restored his rightful place in historical past by erecting the 182-ft ‘Statue of Unity‘ at Ekta Nagar and holding an annual parade of all state and central police forces there on his birth anniversary.Marking Sardar Patel’s a hundred and fiftieth beginning anniversary this yr, the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas parade, presided over by PM Modi, has been upgraded to the size of the Republic Day parade, that includes contingents of state police and central paramilitary forces together with 16 BSF personnel honoured for Operation Sindoor.Additionally on show might be stunts by BSF’s Indian-bred canine and motorcycle-borne Assam Police personnel, whereas tableaux from completely different states will have fun ‘Unity in Diversity’. The showstopper might be a cultural extravaganza of 900 dancers performing towards the backdrop of Patel’s towering statue, adopted by a flypast by IAF’s Suryakiran crew. Shah, addressing a presser in Patna, stated the parade will henceforth be held yearly on October 31.
