Following Tiwari’s demise BJP suspends election committee meet

Friday, 19 October 2018 | PNS | Dehradun

Following the demise of Narayan Dutt Tiwari, the Bharatiya Janata Party held a condolence meet at its State office here on Thursday. The party also suspended its election committee meeting which was to be held in the evening to finalise names of candidates for local body elections. Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, BJP State chief Ajay Bhatt and State-in-charge Shyam Jaju along with other senior party leaders left for Delhi to pay their last respects to Tiwari.

During the meet here in the evening, Bhatt said that Tiwari’s demise had resulted in the loss of a leader who had made important contributions to the development of the nation and State while occupying various positions. “He was storehouse of knowledge and rising above party politics, always accorded priority to development.

Despite being in our opposition, he never stopped our development proposals,” said the BJP State chief.

The party’s State-in-charge and national vice-president Shyam Jaju said that Tiwari was a leader connected to the ground and politeness was among his special attributes. MP and former CM, Bhagat Singh Koshyari said that Tiwari was very broad minded and never limited himself to conceited politics. “Though politically we were on opposite sides, politics never came between personal relations and development works,” he added. MP and former CM Ramesh Pokhriyal, former CM Vijay Bahuguna and other party leaders also paid tributes to the departed leader.
