In a post on X, Modi praised Shekhar’s efforts in fostering social harmony and advancing nation-building, emphasizing that his contributions remain etched in the country’s memory.
A towering figure in socialist politics, Chandra Shekhar was born in 1927 in eastern Uttar Pradesh and served as prime minister for a brief term from November 1990 to June 1991. His tenure, though short, reflected his commitment to national progress, a legacy Modi underscored in his tribute.
