On Kripalani, Modi wrote “He was a man of deep principles and a commitment to serve the poorest of the poor. Acharya Kripalani embraced Mahatma Gandhi's leadership during the Champaran Satyagraha.”
Acharya Kripalani created history when he moved the first ever no-confidence motion against the Government of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1963,” Modi further wrote.
Expressing anguish at the fact that stalwarts of the freedom struggle have been reduced to partisan political leaders, Modi wrote “There can be no greater disservice to our history than viewing these stalwarts through the narrow prism of political partisanship.”
