New Delhi: Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) president Amit Shah today attacked main opposition Congress party president Rahul Gandhi for spreading canards to discredit the Statue of Unity project of Gujarat.

Rahul in his party’s rally at Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh today said the state of Sardar Patel which is the tallest statue is “made in China”.

He said, “Narendra Modi ji is making Sardar Patel’s statue in Gujarat. It will be world’s tallest statue but it will be ‘Made in China’ like our shoes and shirts.”

Reacting to this, Amit Shah tweeted: ‘At a time when India is uniting to pay tributes to Sardar Patel by building a grand ‘Statue of Unity’ the Congress President is spreading canards to discredit the project. Shame!’

Shah also tweeted: ‘Dear @RahulGandhi, your family humiliated Sardar Patel, unsuccessfully tried to erase his legacy from the people’s hearts and minds. Your lies on the ‘Statue of Unity’ is another display of your visceral hatred towards Sardar Patel.’

Statue of Unity, world’s tallest statue in making will be 182 meter tall. It is in final stage of making at Sadhu bet opposite Sardar Sarovar Narmada dam in Central Gujarat. The Prime Minister is going to inaugurate it on October 31st, the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. Modi had initiated this project as Chief Minister of Gujarat.
