Nadda honours 98-yr-old party worker at home

On the occasion of the party’s foundation day, BJP National President JP Nadda visited the residence of 98-year-old senior party worker and former Delhi Mayor, Shakuntala Arya, in Lajpat Nagar on Sunday. The visit was a tribute to her lifelong dedication to the party.

Accompanied by Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra, Nadda hoisted the party flag at Arya’s home and honoured her with a party scarf and a shawl. He also sought her blessings, describing her as “an invaluable asset” to the party.

“Elderly workers like Shakuntala Arya are our greatest strength. Their dedication and sacrifices have laid the foundation for the BJP’s journey from struggle to power, both at the Centre and in Delhi,” said Nadda.

Others present on the occasion included BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh, senior leader Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, local MLA Sardar Tarvinder Singh Marwah, National Media Co-Head Sanjay Mayukh, Delhi BJP Vice-President Yogita Singh and Mayur Vihar district president Vijender Dhamma. Arya, a veteran leader who played a key role in the party’s early years in Delhi, blessed Nadda and Sachdeva, wishing them long lives and continued success in public service.
