On September 25, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a 'Bhajan Clubbing' event in Delhi's Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Park to commemorate the birth anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh leader Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. A video of the event showed Modi seated in the front row as singers and musicians in saffron robes performed devotional songs. Modi adorned an orange waistcoat over a white kurta-pyjama during the occasion.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister paid tribute to Upadhyaya, praising his philosophy of 'Antyodaya' as the foundation of social welfare and national progress. In a post on X, Modi emphasized that Upadhyaya's vision remains relevant in shaping contemporary policies and empowering the grassroots. He urged citizens to embrace Upadhyaya's legacy and reaffirm their commitment to his ideals and social responsibilities.
Born on September 25, 1916, Deendayal Upadhyaya was a key figure in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh and the forerunner of the BJP. He started the monthly publication, Rashtra Dharma, in the 1940s to promote Hindutva revivalist ideals. Upadhyaya served as the president of the Jana Sangh from December 1967 until his untimely death on February 11, 1968, under mysterious circumstances. His remains were found near Mughal Sarai junction, now known as Deendayal Upadhyay junction.
