Taking to Twitter to pay his respects for Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, Amit Shah said, "When the emphasis was being given on adapting the foreign model for the formation of independent India, it was Pandit ji who gave India's mantle of politics, economy and socialism connecting to the roots of India, by giving the mantra -- 'Reinventing India' through the principle of integral humanism and uplifting the weakest section of the society."

दीनदयाल जी का जीवन राष्ट्रसेवा व समर्पण का एक विराट प्रतीक है। मातृभूमि के उत्थान के प्रति उनके समर्पण भाव ने हमें प्रेरित कर सदैव हमारा मार्गदर्शन किया है।

आज परम श्रद्धेय दीनदयाल उपाध्याय जी के बलिदान दिवस पर उनके चरणों में नमन कर श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की।#SamarpanDiwas pic.twitter.com/XdGNZHwnma
