Tripura CM Manik Saha paid tribute to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay on his birth anniversary, highlighting his vision of honesty, inclusive development, and service to the last person in society, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance approach.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha today said that Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay was a keen politician and patriot who always thought about the culture, tradition, and development of the people of India.
He said that the country and the state are moving forward in the direction indicated by him.
Dr. Saha said this at a program organized on the occasion of the Birth Anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay at Muktadhara Auditorium, Agartala.
“Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay was a keen politician and patriot. He sacrificed himself for the country, but these things were not known earlier. The more one knows about Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, the more mature one’s mind becomes. There were many legendary personalities in India who gave a lot at a young age and whom we still remember. For example, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Swami Vivekananda passed away at a very young age, but the thoughts they left behind still inspire us,” said Dr. Saha.
He further said that Pandit Deendayal emphasized that honesty should be our policy.

“We have to move forward with honesty. He said that everyone should be a friend, everyone should develop, everyone should be a believer, and everyone should make an effort. This is what the our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now emphasizing. Pandit Deendayal said that the benefits of all government development projects should reach the last person in society. This is now being implemented by our Prime Minister, and we are also working in that direction. To reach the people with the benefits of government schemes, good governance activities have been carried out in two phases. A web portal called ‘Amar Sarkar’ has been launched for the welfare of the people. This portal has been opened with the aim of solving the daily problems of the common man. The people of rural areas are benefiting as a result, and this is exactly what Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay wanted,” he said.
In his speech, the Chief Minister said that the present government does what it says.
“This will increase the trust of the people in us. Now, people have confidence and trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Modi is taking the country forward by keeping in mind the thoughts of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal,” he added.
