Later, PM Modi posted his photo with Makhanlal Sarkar on Instagram and wrote, I met Makhanlal Sarkar ji at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. Makhanlal Sarkar, a dedicated patriot, had worked with Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee and was also arrested while living as his associate in Jammu and Kashmir. He dedicated his life to strengthening the base of our party BJP in West Bengal and inspiring people from all levels to join the party. As BJP workers, we are proud that our party has such inspirational personalities who have strengthened our party by staying among the masses.
