Modi's suit fetches Rs.4.31 crore

“Our aim was to get Modi’s suit at any cost and contribute the amount to the Clean Ganga mission,” said Hitesh



Patel, managing director, Dharmanandan Diamonds Private Limited.

While the proceeds of the auction received by sale of gifts to Modi will go to the Namami Gange (Clean Ganga) project, the money raised from Patel’s gifts will be used for the education of the girl child in the state through Mukhya Mantri Kanya Kelavani Nidhi.

Apart from the suit, the exhibition-cum-auction in Surat also saw various other items gifted to Modi during his visits abroad, such as a T-shirt from Australian cricketer Brett Lee, statues, show pieces and memento gifted by various NRIs. More than 826 gift items received by Modi and Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel were put on the block for auction.
