Upadhyaya’s integral humanism remains guiding force: Modi

New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s birth anniversary on Thursday said the BJP ideologue’s mantra of “integral humanism” remains to be a guiding force for all.

“We bow to our inspiration and guide… on his birth anniversary. His was a life dedicated towards serving society,” Modi tweeted.
