New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid tributes to BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya on his death anniversary, lauding him as a visionary thinker who dedicated himself to the service of India.
Modi said on X, "His philosophy of uplifting the last person in society continues to inspire our journey towards a strong nation. His sacrifice and ideals remain a guiding force in our collective mission for progress and unity."
A RSS pracharak, Upadhyaya worked with Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee in building the party and his concepts of "integral humanism" and "antyodaya" have been the BJP's catchphrases.
