Atal Bihari Vajpayee Established Democratic Values To Deliver Good Governance For The Nation, Says Sarbananda Sonowal

Speaking on the occasion, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s presence is still alive in our hearts. The inspiration and courage that Atal Ji instilled in us continue to motivate us. Atal Ji’s work always tells us to serve people selflessly and in this, we must be prepared to face challenges, opposition, and failures. But, as he shows, one should not be disheartened; instead, you should believe your heart with a firm determination to work hard for the selfless development of the country. This invaluable contribution of Atal Ji, the visionary, is an endless source of inspiration for my life.”

“Atal Bihari Vajpayee laid the foundation of good governance by establishing democratic values in India. In his tenure as Prime Minister, he worked for the welfare of all sections of society. Initiatives such as education, the Gram Sadak Yojana, and others significantly contributed to the new momentum of development in India,” he added.

Terming the Congress rule in the Northeast region as the dark age of governance, the Union Minister said, “The Northeast region remained neglected for many decades under the Congress rule. It was not until the Atal Ji-led BJP government took charge at the Center, that no sincere attempt was made to put the Northeast region on the fast track of development.”
