On the birth anniversary of Sushil Kumar Modi, a key figure in Bihar’s political landscape, senior socialist leader Shivanand Tiwari shared memories highlighting their respectful relationship despite political differences. Tiwari recalled Modi’s early advocacy for social engineering within the Bihar BJP, emphasizing his deep understanding of the state’s politics.
Their shared experiences during the JP movement and time in Bankipur Jail underscored Modi’s strategic acumen and grassroots organizing skills. Despite ideological disagreements, Modi’s commitment to facts and principles, along with his inclusive approach, left a lasting impression on Tiwari.
Sushil Modi’s role as a prominent opposition voice during Lalu Prasad Yadav’s era was marked by relentless challenges on governance and corruption issues. Tiwari lamented the void left by leaders like Modi, praising his integrity and principled stance in politics. The tribute serves as a rare cross-ideological acknowledgment of respect in today’s political climate.
