Making India 'Shreshtha Bharat' true tribute to Sardar Patel:

Hailing the contribution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in uniting the country, Union Minister Parshottam Rupala on Thursday said a true tribute to the leader would be by making the country 'Shreshtha Bharat'.

Speaking on the occasion of his birth anniversary here, the Union Minister of State for Agriculture said the true tribute to Sardar Patel would be by making India 'Swachh Bharat' (clean India), 'Samarth Bharat' (prosperous India) and 'Shreshtha Bharat' (Superior India).

"We should all work towards making the country 'Shreshtha Bharat', which will be a true tribute to Sardar Sahab," he said. Every Indian remembers with pride Sardar Patel's work in integrating several princely states, the Union Minister said adding "he (Patel) united the country and gave us 'Ek Bharat' (One India) and now our Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) has called upon all of us to work towards making it superior."
