Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the 97-year-old BJP veteran on stage, hugged him, and bowed to seek his blessings. The moment quickly went viral on social media and received loud applause from the audience.
The emotional gesture happened during the grand oath-taking ceremony attended by many senior leaders and party supporters. The event marked a historic political moment in West Bengal as Suvendu Adhikari took oath as the state’s Chief Minister. During the ceremony, Modi Touches Feet of Makhanlal Sarkar, showing deep respect for the senior party worker.
Makhanlal Sarkar is among the oldest and most respected BJP leaders in the state. The veteran leader from Siliguri worked closely with Syama Prasad Mookerjee and played a key role in strengthening the party in North Bengal.
After the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980, Sarkar helped expand the party’s base and enrolled thousands of members. Many leaders said Modi’s gesture highlighted the party’s respect for dedicated grassroots workers.
