Bengaluru: BJP State President B.S. Yeddyurappa condoling the death of former PM A.B. Vajpayee on Thursday and called it a great loss to the country, and especially the BJP to which he had dedicated his life.
Recalling Vajpayee’s assertion in his speech at the Mumbai plenary session of the BJP in 1980 when it had only two seats in the Lok Sabha, that “Andhera jayega, suraj niklega, kamal khilega (darkness will go, the sun will rise and the lotus will bloom),” he said it was his vision and optimism in politics that had motivated the workers and leaders of the party to build it. “It is because of Vajpayeeji’s contribution to building the party that Mr Narendra Modi has become PM today. I not only love and adore Vajpayeeji, but I am also a great admirer of his political traits, which appealed to people of all castes, creeds and communities. He lived like an ajatha shatru,” Yeddyurappa concluded.
