He remarked that the transformation brought about by the Patidar community within its society is truly remarkable, adding that the progress achieved by the Patidar community of Gujarat is unparalleled.
According to the Chief Minister's Office, Union Home Minister further stated that following the victory in West Bengal, the BJP now governs nearly 80 per cent of the country's geographical area.

He further added that the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional validity of the SIR.
He said that a Demography Change Commission has been constituted in the country to study unnatural changes in population ratios, examine the reasons behind such shifts, and implement corrective programmes wherever such changes are found to be linked to infiltration.
He further said that under BJP governance, the country has witnessed transformative changes in areas ranging from the economy to internal security. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terrorism and Naxalism have been effectively eradicated across the country over the past ten years.

He added that owing to its values of simplicity and an inclusive outlook, the Patidar community has earned widespread acceptance and respect across the country and abroad.
Praising the community's spirit of sacrifice, penance, hard work, honesty, and patriotism, the Union Minister stated that Patidars today hold a prominent position in sectors such as agriculture, education, textiles, pharmaceuticals, diamonds, and real estate.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Veer Savarkar on his birth anniversary, who laid the foundation of cultural nationalism while harmoniously embracing both modernity and tradition. He stated that over the past 12 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been realising the mantra of placing national interest above all through cultural nationalism and pride in the nation's rich heritage. He further added that under the leadership of Narendra Modi and during Amit Shah's tenure as Union Home Minister, India is emerging as a strong, secure, and globally trusted nation.
Congratulating everyone on the inauguration of the hostel building at Umiya Dham Sola, which he described as a centre of education, CM stated that the Prime Minister often says that a society that gives priority to education consistently progresses and attains new heights. He added that the Patidar community has successfully preserved its traditions while embracing education and modernity.
CM further stated that through the development of a grand temple, a student hostel, and a party plot together at the Umiya Dham campus in Sola by Umiya Mataji Sansthan, Unjha, a true confluence of faith, education, and social infrastructure will be created at the site. He said that this complex stands as a reflection of the transformative change that society and collective organisational strength can bring to the field of education. Expressing confidence, he stated that the hostel inaugurated today will serve as a source of new direction and inspiration for society.
CM said that the Patidar community has always remained committed to national service.

CM Patel said that Amit Shah is regarded as one of the country's most successful Home Ministers. He said that under the guidance of the Prime Minister and the leadership of Amit Shah, the Home Department has achieved several significant milestones in the areas of internal security, law and order, border management, and national unity through decisive measures such as the eradication of Naxalism and the abrogation of Article 370 from Kashmir.
