Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath views a poster of former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu during the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Swarna Bharat Trust in Nellore on Monday.
He was the chief guest at the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Swarna Bharat Trust at its premises in Venkatachalam, Nellore, on Monday. Mr. Yogi visited the Akshara Vidyalaya campus and the Soma Skill Development Centre, where he paid floral tributes to the statues of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Swami Vivekananda.
He subsequently interacted with the students and trainees of the Trust. Addressing the gathering, he described former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, who established the Trust, as a multifaceted personality. He lauded Mr. Naidu for earning nationwide recognition through his simplicity, natural demeanour and unassuming nature.
Mr. Yogi said Mr. Venkaiah Naidu had a personality that transcended political ideologies and fostered inclusivity. He noted that during his tenure as Rajya Sabha Chairman, Mr. Naidu maintained cordial relations with leaders of all parties and discharged his duties with distinction.
