Marking the passing of a national icon, BJP leaders including Nitin Nabin commemorated Dr. Rajendra Prasad’s death anniversary on February 28 with profound respect. As India’s first President, his contributions to sovereignty and simplicity remain etched in history.
National president Nitin Nabin’s tribute on X extolled Dr. Prasad’s defense of constitutional sanctity, democratic reinforcement, and inspirational lifestyle. He positioned the leader’s virtues as a guiding light for future public servants.
Joining in, Nitin Gadkari offered abhinandan, Nitish Kumar shraddhanjali on nirvan diwas, and Yogi Adityanath vivid recollections of his freedom fighting zeal and moral compass of restraint and integrity.
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta bowed to his unparalleled service spirit, from liberation battles to constitutional stewardship. Haryana’s Nayab Saini lauded his democratic architecture and enduring principles, while Uttarakhand’s Pushkar Singh Dhami revered his sacrifices and precedent-setting presidency.
Dr. Prasad’s biography is a saga of resilience: educated at Calcutta University, influenced by Gandhi, jailed multiple times, and eventually elected President unopposed. Post-tenure, his voluntary simplicity contrasted sharply with perks, symbolizing true nationalism.
In today’s context, these BJP tributes revive discussions on leadership ethos. Dr. Prasad’s life narrative—from rural Bihar roots to Rashtrapati Bhavan—offers profound insights into balancing authority with humility. As India progresses, his memory reinforces the primacy of duty-bound governance.
