PM Narendra Modi on Monday lauded Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu’s achievements saying his legacy would forever inspire the House.
In a farewell speech, the PM said it is an emotional occasion.
Modi said Naidu had always worked for the youth and given opportunity to young members in the House.
“As Vice President outside the House, you spent more than 25 per cent of your time with the youth. Your efforts as a party worker, as party president or as Union minister will always be remembered,” Modi said.
The PM said, “Several of the books by you tell about you. Your one-liners are full of wit and wisdom. Your achievements in public life are a proof that ‘work is worship’. During your tenure in Rajya Sabha the productivity increased by 70 per cent.”
