Four years after then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, laid foundation stones of the Statue of Unity in Kevadia in 2013, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s statue has been erected up to its knee. Today, the statue stands 59-meters tall of a planned 182 meters — the number of Assembly constituencies in the state. In a bid to complete the project, the Petroleum Ministry has instructed all oil and gas public sector units (PSUs) to pay up to Rs 200 crore for the Rs 2,989 crore-project, according to an Indian Express report.
