Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday unveiled a 72-feet brass statue of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya near BJP's headquarters in the national capital on his birth anniversary. A statue of Upadhyaya, who was the co-founder of BJP’s predecessor Bharatiya Jana Sangh was erected in a park which is located opposite BJP headquarters. Earlier today, he paid tributes to Deendayal Upadhyaya.
PM Modi while addressing his party workers in Delhi said, "When
efforts are made for big targets and we go ahead with everyone, the scale of our success also goes up. Public success always makes you feel more proud than individual success. Today, when India has changed its image with its capability, even a common Indian is seen respectfully abroad. After Chandrayaan-3's success, people in foreign countries are congratulating the common Indians. After G20 too, the manner in which India was appreciated has increased the respect that every Indian gets."
