Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel attended the 30th mass wedding ceremony organised by the Chavda-Dabhi-Rathod Rajput community. The event witnessed a grand welcome for the CM, where he was honoured with floral garlands, a turban, a sword, and a memento. Rajputs have held significant influence in Gujarat, ruling various dynasties and princely states during the British era. Politically, the community has been active in state affairs, with recent agitations highlighting their concerns over representation and remarks by political figures. He reiterated that the growth of the society leads to the development of the state, and ultimately, to the nation’s progress. He expressed confidence that a strong and prosperous community would actively contribute to building a developed Gujarat and, in turn, a stronger nation. The ceremony also included a pledge-taking ceremony, where attendees vowed to support social causes such as the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative.
