Today, the “Sardar@150 Unity March” was organized with great enthusiasm in the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency, led by Member of Parliament Shri Praveen Khandelwal. The march began from Kanhaiya Nagar Metro Station and concluded at Azadpur Chowk, showcasing the true spirit of “Ek Bharat – Shreshtha Bharat” (One India, Great India). On this occasion, MLAs Mrs. Poonam Sharma, Mr. Raj Kumar Bhatia, and Mr. Tilak Ram Gupta, BJP Keshavpuram District President Mr. Ajay Khatana, Chandni Chowk District President Mr. Arvind Garg, along with members of social organizations, traders’ associations, RWAs, women’s groups, and a large number of citizens, participated with great zeal.
Dream into reality by integrating
The march saw enthusiastic participation of school children, youth, NCC cadets, and women dressed in colorful traditional attire, who became the highlight of the event. The streets of Delhi resonated with patriotic chants “Vande Mataram,” “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” “Sabse Achha Hindustan,” and “Sardar Patel Amar Rahe” — filling the atmosphere with national pride and unity. During the event, Shri Praveen Khandelwal administered an oath to adopt Swadeshi (use of indigenous goods) and work for a Drug-Free Bharat. He said that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the first visionary leader of independent India who not only dreamt of a united nation but also turned that dream into reality by integrating 562 princely states into one India.
Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister
Khandelwal further said that Sardar Patel’s indomitable courage, administrative excellence, and unwavering nationalism laid the strong foundation of India. He was truly the symbol of India’s unity, integrity, and self-reliance. Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shri Khandelwal stated that Prime Minister Modi has given Sardar Patel the dignity and honor that previous Congress governments had long denied him. Through the creation of the ‘Statue of Unity,’ Modi ji has immortalized Patel’s legacy and connected the new generation with his ideals.” The Unity March stood as a living example of “Unity in Diversity” and conveyed the powerful message that when the people of India unite with one vision and purpose, the nation confidently marches ahead toward becoming a developed, strong, and self-reliant global power.
