AHMEDABAD, OCT 2

On Gandhi Jayanti, Gujarat’s Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel made a visit to Kirti Mandir in Porbandar, where he offered floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, also known as the ‘Father of the Nation,’ on the occasion of his 154th birth anniversary.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Monday paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary and said Narendra Modi is the only prime minister in the country who has assimilated Gandhiji’s mantra of cleanliness.

Patel visited Gandhiji’s birthplace Porbandar and paid floral tributes to him at Kirti Mandir there.

Later, the CM along with other dignitaries, including cabinet colleague Kunvarji Bavaliya and Porbandar BJP MP Ramesh Dhaduk, attended the ‘Sarva Dharma Prarthana’, an all religion prayer meet.

In his address at the Kirti Mandir, Patel said though Mahatma Gandhi was born as a common man in Porbandar, the entire world worships him for his belief in non-violence.

At the Gujarat assembly campus in Gandhinagar, deputy chief whip Ramanbhai Solanki, Gandhinagar mayor Hitesh Makwana and other dignitaries paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, said a government release.

Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat paid homage to the Father of the Nation at the Gujarat Vidyapith in Ahmedabad. The educational institution was founded by Mahatma Gandhi nearly 100 years ago, said the release.

An all-religion prayer was also organised at the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, which was Mahatma Gandhi’s home from 1917 to 1930 and served as one of the main centres of India’s freedom struggle.
