All India President BJP kisan Morcha Om Prakash Dhankar, is the national coordinator of the coordination committee that will collect iron from every household of rural India. Grewal stated this while addressing the media persons here today. He said the statue will be a symbol of the immense contribution of Sardar Patel and his legendary persona. Patel unified the 562 princely states of India after which the statue will be named as the Statue of Unity.
