Delhi, 12 October (H.S.): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid rich tributes to Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia on her birth anniversary, describing her as a towering figure of Indian politics whose dedication to public service and values continues to inspire generations.

In a message on X, PM Modi wrote, “Tributes to Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Ji on her birth anniversary. Her efforts to serve society will never be forgotten. She played a key role in strengthening the Jana Sangh and BJP. Vijayaraje Scindia Ji was passionate about our cultural roots and always worked to protect as well as popularise them.”

Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia, born in 1919 in the royal family of Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, was among the most influential women leaders in post-Independence India. A co-founder of the Bharatiya Janata Party and a senior leader of the erstwhile Bharatiya Jana Sangh, she was known for her simplicity, spiritual depth, and tireless work for women’s empowerment and social causes.

Throughout her political journey, Rajmata played a crucial role in strengthening the ideological framework of the BJP. She served in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and remained a symbol of integrity and devotion to public life.
