The Union government's decision on Kashmir is inspired by Sardar Patel and is an attempt to find a solution to a decades-old problem, Modi, who turned 69 on Tuesday, said at a public rally here.

The government on August 5 revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and proposed that the state be bifurcated into two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The PM said the Hyderabad Liberation Day is a result of Sardar Patel's vision. Observed on September 17 each year, it marks the day in 1948 when the erstwhile Hyderabad State was annexed to the Indian Union.

Modi arrived at Kevadiya on Tuesday morning to take part in the 'Namami Narmada' festival being celebrated by the Gujarat government to mark the filling up of the dam to its full reservoir level of 138.68 metres.

Modi lauds Patel's vision, says J&K decision inspired by him
Kevadiya, Sep 17 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on
Tuesday lauded the vision of Sardar Patel, adding the BJP-led
government's decision last month on Jammu and Kashmir was an
inspiration from the former home minister of India.
The Union government's decision on Kashmir is inspired
by Sardar Patel and is an attempt to find solution to a
decades-old problem, Modi, who turned 69 on Tuesday, said at a
public rally here.
The government on August 5 revoked Article 370 which
gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and proposed that the
state be bifurcated into two union territories, Jammu and
Kashmir and Ladakh.
The PM said the Hyderabad Liberation Day is a result
of Sardar Patel's vision. Observed on September 17 each year,
it marks the day in 1948 when the erstwhile Hyderabad State
was annexed to the Indian Union.
Modi said he was happy to see the rising number of
visitors to the Statue of Unity. While the 133-year-old State
of Liberty gets around 10,000 visitors per day, about 8,500
people visit the 11-month-old Statue of Unity daily, he said.
The Sardar Sarovar project is catering to needs of
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and has
benefitted people in these four states, Modi said.
On a visit to his home state, Modi earlier on Tuesday
offered prayers to goddess Narmada at the Sardar Sarovar dam.
Accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani,
Modi offered prayers as part of the state government's Namami
Devi Narmade Mahotsav celebrations being held to mark the dam
receiving water to its full capacity.
Modi also visited the Butterfly Garden in Kevadiya and
named the saffron coloured plain tiger butterfly as the state
butterfly.
Modi began the day with a visit to the Statue of Unity
and the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river Narmada.
The Statue of Unity, billed as the tallest in the
world, was inaugurated by him on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's
birth anniversary on October 31 last year.
He also tweeted a video of the statue, taken from his
helicopter.
Modi arrived at Kevadiya on Tuesday morning to take
part in the 'Namami Narmada' festival being celebrated by the
Gujarat government to mark the filling up of the dam to its
full reservoir level of 138.68 metres.
For the first time since the height of the dam was
raised in 2017, the water level reached its highest peak at
138.68 metres on Sunday evening.
Modi along with Rupani, then performed 'puja' at the
dam site to 'welcome' the water of river Narmada, the lifeline
of Gujarat. PTI KA PJT PD
