“The bronsbeklädda the statue was inaugurated in October of last year and is located about 20 kilometres away from the state’s largest city Ahmedabad. This means that tourists who want to visit the mainly get there by bus. The authorities now want it easier for visitors to get there and make it possible for the aircraft to start and land on the water. For security reasons, therefore, the crocodiles moved – but the decision has attracted criticism.”

“Critics have previously described the statue as a way for the country’s prime minister Narendra Modi and the ruling hindunationalistiska the BJP-the party to win votes. Modis popularity has dropped as a result of, among other things, the declining employment rates in the country.”
“Sardar Patel was independent India’s first deputy prime minister. The statue was when it was the highest in the world.”
