Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel bust lies dilapidated outside Harni Talati office in Vadodara

Social activist Atul Gamechi attacked administration for not paying attention

The whole nation is celebrating 145th birth anniversary of Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid homage to the great leader at Kevadia Statue of Unity and unveiled tourist projects prepared at a cost of crores of rupees. However the Vadodara administration seems to be not taking care of the bust of Sardar Patel which lied in dilapidated state just outside the Harni Talati office.

Today, social worker Atul Gamechi and members of his team along with Harni village leaders, visited the dilapidated bust of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel installed at Harni Talati’s office compound. The statue was wiped clean with milk and water and they paid respect to the great leader on his anniversary.

He also chanted slogans demanding the renovation of the statue. A large number of villagers had gathered to watch the program organised by activist Atul Gamechi’s team at Harni Talati office. They were also angry with the corporation for not paying attention to Sardar Patel’s statue.

Atul Gamechi said, the whole nation is celebrating the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself paid respect to the great leader at Kevadia. On the other hand the Vadodara administration fails to take care of the busts of such personalities and they lies in dilapidated state.

With the help of villagers they cleaned the statue and paid their respects to the great leader. They demand renovation of the statue and attacked the administration for not paying attention to it.
