GANDHINAGAR: The BJP government in Gujarat has initiated the process of patenting the name of the variety of dragon fruit grown in Gujarat as ‘kamalam’, which is also the name of the state party headquarters. It means lotus — the symbol of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Addressing a press conference to announce formation of the horticulture development mission, chief minister Vijay Rupani said, “We have named the dragon fruit grown in Gujarat as kamalam. Now the variety grown in Gujarat will be known as kamalam. We are in the process of getting patent for this.”
The CM, however, clarified that there was no political angle to naming the dragon fruit variety grow in Gujarat as kamalam. When asked about the rationale behind rechristening the fruit as kamalam, the CM said, “One need not see any political angle into this. Farmers call it kamalam (lotus) fruit in Gujarat, so the government has named it kamalam.”
