End of an Era: Remembering the Patriarch of Northeast BJP, Shri Kabindra Purkayastha
Today, we lose a giant. Former Union Minister and senior BJP leader Shri Kabindra Purkayastha has breathed his last at 94.
Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore shared a heartfelt message on this painful news:
"The news of the demise of former MP and Union Minister Shri Kabindra Purkayastha ji is extremely sad. His dedication to social service and contribution to the development of Assam will always be remembered."
Why He Was Special: ✨ Founder Figure: He was the architect of the BJP in Assam and the Barak Valley. ✨ Vajpayee’s Ally: A trusted minister in the 1998 cabinet who worked for national communication infrastructure. ✨ A Teacher First: His background as an educator reflected in his disciplined and values-based politics.
The Northeast has lost its guiding light. We join Col. Rathore in praying for the departed soul. May his legacy inspire the next generation of leaders.
Om Shanti. 🙏
