Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel attended Seva Setu programme at Manipur village near Ahmedabad on Friday on the occasion of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s birthday. Programmes of Gujarat CM have been organised in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency represented by Shah to mark his birthday, an official release said on Thursday.
Under this programme, locals get various documents and certificates, such as income certificates, widow pension, caste certificate and duplicate ration card, at their doorstep without having to visit government offices.
Born in Gujarat in 1964, Shah has been a close and longstanding aide of Modi and was a minister in his government in Gujarat before becoming the BJP president in 2014 after the party came to power at the Centre.
He joined the Modi government as home minister after it took charge for a second term in 2019.
