In his address to the workers of Bharatiya Janata Party on the 53rd death anniversary of party ideologue Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, PM Modi said that the pioneer’s views hold the utmost significance even today.
“Deendayal Upadhyaya ji was like the head of this vast family of ours. He continuously gave inspiration to our family. All of you have read his works and have achieved success in your lives by following his principles,” PM Modi said at the Samarpan Diwas.
Highlighting Upadhyaya’s career achievements, the Prime Minister further added that his career works still remain as fresh as they were during his days. “Today, Upadhyaya ji’s views are as relevant as they were during his days. In fact, they will continue to be relevant in the coming time as well,” the Prime Minister said.
“Through power, one can get only limited respect. One will get respect only if he is actually influential. However, a wise person is respected everywhere. Deendayal ji was a living example of this,” PM Modi added.
Deendayal Upadhyaya was born on September 25, 1916 in Mathura. A leader of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, Upadhyaya was a forerunner in shaping BJP into what it is known today.
