ShashiTharoor - Launched autobiography of exBJP Minister O.Rajagopal at Delhi Malayalee Assn.Though our politics diverge,I admire his values&ministrl record
Earlier Shri Oommen Chandy, top congress Leader inagurated the 80th birthday celebrations of senior BJP leader and former Union Minister O Rajagopal at VJT Hall, Thiruvanantha-puram on September 29.He said "Rajagopal is a simple, humble and ideal politician, worthy of emulating. “Rajagopal is a role model for future and present politicians,” he emphasised.
“I had the honour to participate in the first public reception, given to him in Kottayam, after he became Union Minister in 1999. O Rajagopal is above politics and is helped and praised by all. He used his Ministership for the good of people, especially in Kerala. I was not able to co-operate with BJP politically, due to ideological differences, but had good relations with him. That is the strength of our democracy and system. But sadly, instead of competing with other parties for welfare and development of people, some parties (CPM), are attacking other parties with weapons, liquidating them, physically. This politics of confrontation and intolerance has to give way to politics of development, welfare and conciliation. I wish O Rajagopal long life in service of Kerala,” Shri Oommen concluded.
