Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda pays floral tribute at Sitaram Yechury's residence.

Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda on Friday paid floral tribute to late Communist Party of India General Secretary Sitaram Yechury at his residence in Vasant Kunj, Delhi. Remembering Yechury, Nadda said he maintained relations even with those whose views were different from his. "Payed floral tribute to the mortal remains of former Rajya Sabha MP and CPI(M) General Secretary late Shri Sitaram Yechury Ji. Both of us had different ideologies. He was a person who was more inclined towards ideas but at the same time, he maintained relations with those whose views were different from his. He believed in agreeing to disagree and often said that this is the beauty of democracy," Nadda wrote in a post on X. He said, "May God grant him eternal peace and give his family the strength to bear this pain.

Recalling the memories of the late CPI(M) leader, Nadda said he was very firm in his views and devoted his whole life to propagate those views, but being a social person, we can never forget his personal relations and humanistic approach. Nadda said, "My friend Sitaram Yechury is no more among us. Sitaram Yechury used to come to Himachal from JNU to propagate his ideology and I have known him since then. We both belonged to different ideologies. He was very firm in his views.

He devoted his whole life to propagate those views, but being a social person, we can never forget his personal relations, humanistic approach. So I can say that he was a person who was more inclined towards ideas, but at the same time, he also maintained relations with those people of the society who were different from his ideology. He believed that we agree even when we disagree and he used to say that this is the beauty of democracy. May God give him a place at his feet and give all the members of his family the strength to bear this loss.

Earlier, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other leaders also reached his residence to pay tribute to Yechury. Speaking to the media, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan said, everyone is in mourning. This is a huge loss for his party, friends and family. We are with the family in this hour of grief. He was a determined person, who was firm on his ideas and ideals and was fully committed to what he believed in. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues." Expressing grief over Yechury's demise, CPI leader D Raja said it is a great loss for the communist left movement in the country. CPI leader D Raja said, "It is a great loss for the entire communist left movement in the country. We had a very long association spanning decades.
