All that is needed is love for the nation and a democratic temperament: PM Modi,” Office of the Prime Minister of India tweeted. “The life and work of #RajmataScindia were always connected to the aspirations of the poor. Her life was all about Jan Seva: PM Modi,” PMO Office said in another tweet. She was a Jana Sangh leader and one of the founding members of the BJP. “Tomorrow, 12th October is the Jayanti of Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia.
