Responding to Ahmed Patel's tweet suggesting that Chinese workers are involved in the construction of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's statue, Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said Friday the Congress leader could not see the "Indian-ness" in the project.
He also termed Ahmed Patel's tweet as an attempt to make Congress president Rahul Gandhi happy.
Talking to reporters here, Nitin Patel said that over 4,000 Indian workers are deployed in the construction of the 'Staute Of Unity', while foreign workers number only 200.
Ahmed Patel tweeted Thursday night two photos with a caption - "Are they Chinese workers or Chinese Tourists?"
