Gujarat Finance Minister Nitin Patel today said he was ready to step down or retire from politics if Opposition proves that there was no visible development on the tourism front in the state.
"Our (BJP) government has developed tourism sector in the state, including all famous religious places, much better than past Congress governments and if they can prove otherwise I am ready to resign and will retire from politics," said Patel while replying in the Assembly during a discussion on supplementary demands.
He was visibly agitated by Opposition Congress member's allegation that state government should have allocated more funds for development of tourist attractions in the state instead of spending crores of rupees, allegedly on publicity.
