New Woman Face
Anar Patel, daughter of former Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel, is emerging as the new woman face of Shree Khodaldham Trust (SKT), the powerful organisation of Leuva Patel sub-caste group of the Patidar community. She was first seen on a Khodaldham platform in October last year when she visited Khodaldham, the shrine of goddess Khodiyar, near Gondal town.
In January, she was inducted in the board of trustees of SKT, headed by industrialist Naresh Patel. At a talk organised by the women’s wing of SKT on March 6 to celebrate the International Women’s Day, Anar, who identifies herself as a social worker, was among the high-profile dignitaries who shared the stage with SKT president and addressed the gathering.
Perseverance Praised
Last week, at an event to distribute loan cheques to the beneficiaries who had attended a loan fair organised by the police, Rajkot city police commissioner Raju Bhargava and his injured hand were the centre of attention.
He had suffered burn injuries after balloons burst during an event on a private educational campus a few days ago. However, after Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s office confirmed the date, the Commissioner went ahead with the disbursement event, despite the injuries. The commissioner’s perseverance won applause from the audience and the dignitaries, including the CM.
