Former Chief Minister Kalyan Singh was honored by Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, and stated the Padma Vibhushan award made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of society.
His deputies, Brajesh Pathak and Keshav Prasad Maurya, also honored the former chief minister. Adityanath said in a post on X, “Founder of good governance in Uttar Pradesh, pioneer of the Shri Ram Mandir movement, former governor of Rajasthan, and former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, the revered Kalyan Singh ‘Babuji’ has an unforgettable contribution in the reconstruction of society.”
“He dedicated every moment of his life to the service of society and the nation. Humble tribute to Padma Vibhushan ‘Babuji,’ who was always dedicated to service, good governance, and social justice, on his birth anniversary!” he further said in Hindi.
According to Maurya on X, Singh’s life served as an example of his values, courage, and unwavering commitment to public service. “His motto of ‘no regrets, no remorse, no sorrow, no grief’ will remain a symbol of his seriousness and spiritual truthfulness and continue to guide all of us towards national resurgence and cultural renaissance,” he said in the post in Hindi.
On December 6, 1992, ‘karsevaks’ destroyed the Babri mosque in Ayodhya when he was the chief minister. Singh, who is a member of the Lodhi community, played a key role in the 1990s as the BJP gained power in Uttar Pradesh.
