Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday, marking the 101st birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Addressing the gathering, Mr Modi said 'Uttar Pradesh is making a different mark in India in the 21st century'. He unveiled statues of Vajpayee, Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. The Prime Minister attacked the Congress, stating that after independence, attempts were made to connect 'all the good work' to 'one family'. He accused the 'royal family' of trying to erase the legacy of Dr BR Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Highlighting the state's progress, he noted that UP is now discussed for its development rather than poor law and order. He also mentioned the renaming of Andaman islands after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the construction of the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya to honour all former Prime Ministers.

Video: PM Modi hugs, touches feet of 98-year-old BJP veteran in Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
