It is due to Sardar Patel that India remains united: Amit Shah

Katihar: Hailing Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for keeping the country intact and united, BJP chief Amit Shah on Saturday paid tributes to him in Katihar where he has been camping for the ongoing Bihar Assembly elections.

Joined by Union Ministers and a number of other party leaders, Shah garlanded Patel's bust and committed to take India to the top position in the world by taking inspiration from Patel. This would be true homage to him on his birth anniversary, according to a statement from BJP.

"Our country was divided into hundreds of smaller provinces and had Sardar sahab not been there it would not be able to come out of this crisis. It is due to him that India remains united and integrated," he said.

Katihar is in the Simanchal region that will go to poll in the last phase on November 5.
