February 11 marks the death anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. He is often remembered as an ideal politician, advisor, and a great leader.

Pandit Deendayal was a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) thinker and former leader of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of BJP. Later in December 1967, he became the President of the Jana Sangh.

The former RSS leader and thinker passed away on February 11, 1968, under mysterious circumstances. His body was found near Mughal Sarai junction, which was later renamed as Deendayal Upadhyay junction.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal took to Twitter to pay homage to the RSS leader.
“Humble tributes to the thinker, ideologue and our guiding light, the great Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya ji on his Punya Tithi.” Assam CM Twitted.

“एकात्म मानववाद और अंत्योदय के प्रणेता, देश में वैकल्पिक राजनीति की नींव रखने वाले महान राष्ट्रवादी नेता एवं विचारक पं. दीनदयाल उपाध्याय जी का जीवन राष्ट्रभक्ति और सामाजिक समरसता के प्रति समर्पण का अनुपम उदाहरण है।
#DeendayalUpadhyay की पुण्यतिथि पर कोटिश: नमन। #SamarpanDiwas” Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Twitted.

PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah also paid their homage to the great RSS leader.
