His friend Suresh is extremely proud of his pal. He narrates: “One day Narendra Bhai rang me up from Ahmedabad. He said that he'll be coming to America. So I went to receive him at the airport. He stayed at my house in New Jersey.
The following morning he asked me about places that he could see around US. So I told him, you can see the Statue of Liberty. When Modi looked at that statue in awe, he said that he couldn't make America out of India, but my country must have facilities like good roads, water, etc.
He wondered why something like the Statue of Liberty could not be made in India too. I laughed away his thoughts.”
New York City inspired Narendra Modi to imagine of an India that was equally developed. NY gave him dreams. The Statue of Liberty inspired him to build the Statue of Unity of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (near Vadodara in Gujarat). Once constructed it will be the world's largest statue.
