Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Saturday said that the country has reached the peak of development and this has been possible because of legendary leaders like former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and present Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He said that politicians and public representatives must work for the people, following the directions of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Dr Saha said this after paying tribute to the first President of the Bharatiya Janata Party and former Prime Minister, Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on his Punya Tithi at the Tripura Pradesh office on Saturday.

“Atal Bihari Vajpayee showed us the true direction and he served as Prime Minister three times. He was in everyone’s heart and even today we remember him. We also celebrate his birth anniversary. Across the country people think differently about Atal Bihari Vajpayee, but a politician like him was rare in Indian politics. Today, we are remembering him on his death anniversary,” said Dr Saha.

He said that Atal Bihari Vajpayee guided everyone and showed how to run a party and the significance of a political organization.

“By giving respect to him, we must think about what more can be done to strengthen the party and organization. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been working in the same direction. Our country has reached the peak of development and this has been possible because of such legendary leaders. We must follow their guidelines and everyone should find innovative ideas within limitations. Politicians must work for the people and think about the country. We must always remember Atal Bihari Vajpayee and work by following his directions,” he added.
