Press Note 09th February, 2014
Like teeth of elephants which are different for show and different to chew, Chief Minister of Gujarat also playing dirty politics in the name of Sardar Saheb’s statue though he never intend to follow ideology of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel nor he like name of Sardar Saheb, but after encashing Ram-naam, B.J.P. or RSS is left with no other option for vote bank politics.
National Spokesperson of Congress Mr. Shaktisinh Gohil stated that, after State of Gujarat came into existence, new campus of secretariat constructed at Gandhinagar was named as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Secretariat Complex and all the Chief Ministers and all Ministers of Council of Ministers of Gujarat continued to function from Block No.1 and 2 situated in the said Sardar Vallabhbhai patel Secretariat Complex itself. Chief Minister of Gujarat did not like to administer from the building where name of Sardar Saheb is associated hence he has recently got constructed two new blocks for the Chief Minister and Ministers by spending million of rupees from public exchequer. Instead of naming these newly constructed blocks, they were named as Swarnim Sankul and thereby he has realized that mentality of Gujarat Chief Minister is anti- Sardar Saheb.
Gujarat Chief Minister who has little knowledge of history and on who is in the habit of representing contrary historical facts on some occasions, has made a statement recently that Congress has made to forget name of Sardar Saheb, and that he reminded them it. Such a bluff Chief Minister of Gujarat can be pointed out towards various examples and it has been compelled now to remind him some of those examples to him. One of the important institute for IPS offices in the country i.e. National Police Academy was established under Congress-rule and its named as SardarVallabhbhaiPatelNationalPoliceAcademy by the very same Congress party on 15-9-1948. It was the Congress party only who associated name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with building of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in 1956.
It was the Congress party which associated name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with Narmada dam project which is life line of Gujarat. Whether it is naming AhmedabadAirport after Sardar Saheb or to install statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at AhmedabadAirport, it has not been done by NDA Government lead by B.J.P. or by Chief Minister of Gujarat but it has been done by the Governments in power with support of Congress Party or by Governments of Congress Party.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is ruling our heart and our soul. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is inseparable organ of Congress. It is Bhartiya Janta Party which has to first follow ideology of Sardar Saheb. A propagator (Pracharak) of ideology which was referred to as the center of spreading poison of communalism, would never adopt ideology of Sardar Saheb and how fair it is if instead he is encashing his name? Chief Minister of Gujarat never cared for school of his native where name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is associated or those statues of him installed at other various places. B.J.P. or RSS has not yet worked towards associating name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with any institution or a club.
If there is any unworthy son born in any noble family and if he is found misbehaving at any public place, obviously gentlemen in the society reprimand him. Just like such an unworthy Tapuda who is warned about his misdeed, who, instead of admitting his fault or correcting himself, start shouting alleging against such gentleman that he has defamed my family and has abused my family and thereby, just like scene of roguery supplants justice; in the same manner, Chief Minister of Gujarat used to create uproar whenever he is caught committing any misdeed and whenever any gentleman or Supreme Court or any other noble organization tried to urge him instead of undo his mistake and started shouting that my Gujarat is being defamed. Yesterday when Vice President of Congress Mr. Rahul Gandhiji warned people, in pure Hindi language, to beware of people who are deceiving them, whereas Chief Minister of Gujarat has made public his ill mentality by misleading people that he has said people as fool. If Chief Minister of Gujarat does not know cultured Hindi language of Mr. Rahul Gandhiji, he must understand the language from some cultured person and if he has understood it and still Chief Minister of Gujarat is committing sin to term people of Gujarat as fool, it is grave insult of people of Gujarat.
