Leaders like Former President Ram Nath Kovind, BJP National President JP Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh, and others paid their respects by offering floral tributes on the occasion.
The Bharatiya Janata Party is organizing several events across the country to mark the 99th birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Monday, celebrated as Good Governance Day.
Earlier, BJP National President JP Nadda asked party officials and state presidents across the country to pay floral tributes to Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s portrait at all booths and discuss the wonderful personality and work of the former Prime Minister.
In every district, there would be a discussion on the schemes and achievements of the Central Government, and the BJP-ruled state governments, as well as good governance for the welfare of the poor.
Meanwhile, a campaign is ongoing on the Namo App for the “Developed India Brand Ambassador” to inspire people to become ambassadors of ‘Developed India’ and inspire others to do so.
The purpose of Good Governance Day is to increase public access to various government programs and services through good governance. The day is celebrated to ensure that the country’s residents are treated fairly by the government and that they receive the benefits of various government services.
Vajpayee was born on December 25, 1924, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, and was elected three times as the nation’s prime minister.
