He said, “The way history in India taught so far the stress was laid on the contribution of one single family. But, the truth is starkly opposite.

The Deputy CM also slammed the ideological rival communists and said, “People like Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhaya realized the fact that neither communism nor liberalism can help our country grow but Nationalism can”, he added.
