Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed profound grief over the passing of veteran BJP leader Kabindra Purkayastha, hailing his invaluable contributions to Assam’s development. In a heartfelt social media post, Modi described Purkayastha as a dedicated public servant whose work would be remembered for generations.
Purkayastha, a long-time associate of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Assam, breathed his last after a prolonged illness. His demise has left a void in the state’s political landscape, where he was known for his unwavering commitment to regional progress.
Modi highlighted how Purkayastha’s efforts in infrastructure, education, and economic growth laid strong foundations for Assam’s future. ‘His vision for a developed Assam will continue to inspire us,’ the Prime Minister noted, urging party workers to carry forward his legacy.
Political leaders across Assam and the BJP have paid rich tributes, recalling Purkayastha’s role in strengthening the party’s foothold in the Northeast. Funeral arrangements are underway, with dignitaries expected to attend.
As Assam mourns, Purkayastha’s life stands as a testament to selfless service. His journey from grassroots activism to influential leader exemplifies the spirit of public service that defines Indian politics today.
