Atal’s personality a symbol of consensus, says Yogi
Various commemorative programmes will be organised across Uttar Pradesh and the entire country on Thursday to mark Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth anniversary.
The entire country is remembering Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s contribution to nation-building, his commitment to democratic values and his dignified political style in public life, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on the eve of the former prime minister’s 101st birth anniversary.
He made the remark while paying tribute to Vajpayee by lighting a lamp in front of the former PM’s statue on the Lok Bhavan premises.
“Vajpayee’s personality is considered a symbol of dialogue, consensus and balance in the national interest in Indian politics,” the chief minister said.
