New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid tributes to Jan Sangh leader Deendayal Upadhyaya on his birth anniversary.

मां भारती की सेवा में जीवनपर्यंत समर्पित रहे अंत्योदय के प्रणेता पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय जी का व्यक्तित्व और कृतित्व देशवासियों के लिए हमेशा प्रेरणास्रोत बना रहेगा। उनकी जन्म-जयंती पर उन्हें मेरा सादर नमन। pic.twitter.com/2UvRlSaEF2

The prime minister also shared his thoughts on Deendayal Upadhyaya.
Born in 1916 in Mathura, Upadhyaya was an RSS functionary and one of the founding members of the Jan Sangh. He had launched Panchjanya in 1948 which continues to be the Sangh mouthpiece today.
Upadhyaya’s philosophy of “integral humanism” and antyodaya (uplifting the most deprived) has been cited by PM Modi as a guiding principle for his government’s welfare measures.
