Union Home Minister Amit Shah lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for realizing Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's vision of a unified India by abrogating Article 370. Patel, through his resolute efforts, integrated 562 princely states into modern India.

Shah inaugurated the 'Run for Unity' on Patel's 150th birth anniversary, reflecting on the challenges Sardar Patel overcame. He criticized past Congress governments for not giving due honor to Patel until Modi initiated the Statue of Unity project.

The 182-meter statue, built with farmers' tools and now a national symbol, attracts millions, signifying Patel's enduring legacy in shaping India's unity and prosperity.
