Prime Minister Modi and Congress Leaders Pay Tribute to K. Kamaraj on His Birth Anniversary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid tributes to Congress leader K. Kamaraj on his birth anniversary, highlighting his unparalleled contributions to education and his visionary leadership. Modi said, “Remembering Thiru K. Kamaraj on his birth anniversary. He is widely respected for his visionary leadership and efforts to uplift the poor. His contribution to sectors like education remains unparalleled. We reiterate our commitment to fulfil his ideals and build a society that is just and compassionate.”

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi also paid tributes to Kamaraj. Kharge said, “Widely revered by the people of Tamil Nadu, and a staunch advocate of social justice, we pay our tribute to a great son of India — Kamarajar. Former Congress President and a Bharat Ratna recipient, K. Kamaraj pioneered groundbreaking initiatives, notably the Mid Day Meal scheme, which continues to empower disadvantaged communities with access to free education.”

Rahul Gandhi added, “My humble tributes to Bharat Ratna and former AICC President, K. Kamraj on his birth anniversary. A true patriot and a leader of the masses, he tirelessly worked and inspired others to uplift the weakest sections of our society. His legacy as Kalvi Thanthai will always be remembered.”

Kumaraswami Kamaraj was born in Tamil Nadu on July 15, 1903. Despite a humble beginning and limited schooling, he became a significant political figure. He was elected to the Madras Legislative Assembly in 1937 and 1946, the Constituent Assembly of India in 1946, and Parliament in 1952. He served as Chief Minister of Madras in 1954 and proposed the ‘Kamaraj Plan’ in 1963. He was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1976.
