These parties are working to divide the society based on caste, creed and religion so that the unity and integrity of the nation are weakened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cWhen the country was on the verge of achieving Independence, the British plotted to divide India into many parts. They didn\u2019t want India to be united, but the \u2018Iron Man\u2019 (Vallabhbhai Patel), with his amazing vision and strong will, strengthened national unity by merging 563 princely states into the Republic of India,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">He was saying that during a state-level workshop organised at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan to kickstart the campaign for the 150th birth anniversary of Vallabhbhai Patel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The chief minister said that India looks united from north to south and from east to west due to Sardar Patel\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cTherefore, to show gratitude to him, October 31 is celebrated as National Unity Day every year for the last 11 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cThe BJP and the Central and state governments are working to realise Sardar Patel\u2019s dream of \u2018Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat&#8221;, he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">He said that at a time when the opposition is doing politics to divide the society, it is the responsibility of the BJP to convey the message of unity to every village and every assembly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The chief minister said that on October 31, a \u2018Run for Unity\u2019 will be organised in the entire state, to be followed by an \u2018Ekta Padayatra\u2019 from November 1-26.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u2018Retired soldiers, organisations affiliated to the BJP, NSS, NCC, and scout guides will be part of the yatra, which will stop every 2 km to convey the message of unity,\u2019 the chief minister said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">\u201cThe Constitution Day will be celebrated on November 26, which will be an opportunity to express gratitude to B R Ambedkar&#8221;, he said adding that five youths from each district will be sent to Delhi, from where they will join a march in Gujarat from November 26 to December 6.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><em>(With inputs from PTI)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-559842290 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 18, 2025, 09:25 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-559842290 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Yogi Adityanath Accuses Congress, SP Of Following British Policy Of \u2018Divide And Rule\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
