Taking a dig at Modi over his pet project of Sardar Patel's gigantic statue, Sharma said, “Sardar Patel never supported the RSS ideology.
I request that when his statue is made, (an inscription of) the letter written by him criticising the RSS be installed beneath the statue.”
Sharma also refuted Modi's claim that the Centre was giving subsidy for meat export, adding that the state governments give permission to meat-processing units, not the the Centre.
“As per Gujarat government's website, 25 million tonnes of meat was processed in the state last year,” the Union Minister said.
