Dattatreya said the Bharatiya Jana Sangh founded by Mukherjee had grown into the Bharatiya Janata Party, which he described as the world’s largest democratic political party. Moreover, he said the small seed planted through the Bharatiya Jana Sangh had grown into what he described as a mighty banyan tree in the form of the BJP.
Furthermore, Dattatreya urged the younger generation to draw inspiration from Mukherjee’s patriotism and sacrifice. BJP leaders Sai Krishna Yadav, M.C. Mohan, Kundinya Prasad, Shobha Thakur and several party workers attended the commemorative programme.
