Speaking at the inaugural function of Sardar Patel museum in Ahmedabad, Modi said, "In 1919 Sardar sahib was a municipal counsellor in Ahmedabad. At that time he had proposed for women's reservation in local bodies. This was his vision then. Imagine what all he could have given us. He also contributed a lot in urban and town planning as mayor of Ahmedabad."
