Chandigarh, February 11 The Haryana government is following the philosophy of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, focusing on uplifting the poorest of the poor, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Wednesday.
The government is ensuring that development reaches the most marginalized, and no citizen is left behind, he said while addressing the 'Samarpan Diwas' programme organised at the state BJP office in Panchkula on the death anniversary of Upadhyay. Earlier, he paid tribute to the leader.
Describing Upadhyay as a leader who was not attracted to authority, the chief minister said that despite this, he won the hearts of the people. He termed the BJP ideologue as an embodiment of honesty who prioritized national service over party politics.
The chief minister further said that Upadhyay propounded timeless principles such as Ekatm Manavvad (Integral Humanism) and Antyodaya, rooted in India's philosophy of life, customs and traditions, rich culture and social fabric.
He said that the progress of any society should be judged not by the conditions of those at the top, but by the conditions of those at the lowest rung, the CM said.
Villages, the poor, farmers, the deprived, oppressed, exploited and tribal communities remained central to his thinking, he said. Saini urged the people to imbibe his ideals in their conduct, decisions and actions.
