Addressing BJP National Convention 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 18 broke down while paying tribute to Acharya Vidhyasagar Ji Maharaj. He said, “Today, I want to pay tribute to Acharya Shri 108 Vidhyasagar Ji Maharaj. After getting information about his death, everyone is deeply saddened. For me, this is a personal loss. I got to meet him and take guidance from him a lot of times. When the last time, I visited him, I was not aware that I would not be able to have his darshan ever again.”
