Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took part in an event leading up to the laying of the foundation of a 182-metre iron and bronze structure of India's first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, on his 138th birth anniversary.

This statue, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs. 2,074 crore, will be twice the size of the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran Lal Krishna Advani, who represents Gujarat in the Lok Sabha, is the chief guest on the occasion.
