New Delhi, Jan 5

On the 73rd birth anniversary of former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister late Sushil Kumar Modi, senior leaders across party lines paid rich tributes to the veteran BJP leader, remembering his role in public life, his fight against corruption, and his lasting contribution to Bihar's development.

Union Minister Giriraj Singh, recalling Sushil Modi's political journey, said the late leader emerged as a strong voice of justice and integrity within the BJP.

"Sushil Modi emerged as a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, standing firmly against injustice and corruption. After the late Karpoori Thakur, Sushil Modi carried forward social sensitivity and maintained a deep connection with society," Singh said.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also paid homage to his former deputy, visiting Krishna Memorial Hall in Patna and offering floral tributes at Sushil Modi's portrait. The two leaders had shared a long political association and jointly steered Bihar through several key administrative and developmental phases.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha highlighted Sushil Modi's administrative acumen and his contribution to economic reforms, particularly in the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

"On his death anniversary at his constituency and in his workplace, we remember him along with the people associated with him. As GST Chairman, he provided a strong foundation to the business community, bringing transparency and simplicity to trade," Sinha said.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary also paid tribute through a post on X, noting that a statue of the former Deputy Chief Minister was unveiled in Patna on the occasion.

"On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Bihar's former Deputy Chief Minister, our guiding politician, the most revered Sushil Kumar Modi Ji, today in Patna, the statue was unveiled in the presence of the Honorable Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar Ji, and floral tributes were offered in reverence," Choudhary wrote.

He further said that Sushil Modi had left an indelible imprint on Bihar's progress. "He has left an indelible mark on the development of Bihar. Generations can never forget," the Deputy CM added.

Sushil Kumar Modi, who passed away after a prolonged illness, was widely regarded as one of Bihar's most influential political figures. Known for his organisational skills, administrative experience, and grassroots connections, he played a crucial role in shaping Bihar's political and economic trajectory over several decades.

It's heartening to see leaders remembering his social sensitivity, as mentioned by Giriraj Singh ji. In today's politics, that connection with the common man is often missing. His absence is truly felt in Bihar's political landscape.

While the tributes are nice, I hope the current leaders actually follow his example of standing firm against corruption. It's easy to praise someone after they are gone, but the real tribute would be to continue his work with the same integrity.

Reading about his role in GST gives a new perspective. As someone who runs a small business, the initial rollout was chaotic, but understanding there was a leader trying to build a strong foundation for transparency is reassuring.

The fact that Nitish Kumar ji, despite political differences now, went to pay respects speaks volumes about Sushil Modi ji's character. That era of politics had more dignity. We need such grounded leaders back.

His contribution to Bihar's development is undeniable. From what my father says, he was a very accessible leader. May his ideals inspire the new generation. A statue is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to public service.
