Museum containing memorabilia on Morarji Desai inaugurated

Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today inaugurated a museum dedicated to the late Morarji Desai, the first non-Congress Prime Minister of the country, in his hometown Valsad.

"It was a privilege to dedicate museum built as a tribute to freedom fighter Shree Morarji Desai where visitors can glance through his life journey," Patel tweeted.

The museum has been set up by Valsad municipal council.
