Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kickstart the campaign for 2019 Lok Sabha elections with unveiling of the Statue of Unity in Gujarat on October 31.
At a height of 182 meters, the Statue of Unity will be the tallest statue in the world. The unveiling of the statue will coincide with the 143rd birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
With less than a year left for the Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is aggressively marketing itself as the party that works for 'Vikas' (development).
The launch of the statue is a decisive move by the party as it aims to reach out to the vast voter base as well as to appease the Patidar community. It is believed that the launch of the statue will also have a massive branding campaign.
Invites will be sent to chief ministers across the country and to the leaders of various SAARC countries. South eastern countries other than Pakistan will also be invited for the event.
Narendra Modi, as the chief minister of Gujarat, had laid the foundation stone of the Sardar Patel statue on October 31, 2013. Modi had invoked nation-wide farmers to contribute scraps of iron for the statue. About 135 tonnes of iron scraps were accumulated after Modi's appeal.
In January, about 70 per cent of the construction was completed. The remaining work is under speedy progress.
