Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was the co-founder of Bhartiya Jana Sangh, fore-runner of Bhartiya Janata Party. He was involved in social work and also participated in the Indian freedom struggle. Not just this but when after freedom, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was blamed for Mahatma Gandhi's death, he worked day and night to clean its image. He believed that after freedom the country needed a strong opposition to keep the government in check and he continued towards achieving this. Just a few days after being appointed as RSS chief, he was found dead under mysterious circumstances on the railway track. A lot of people thought it to be a political murder so the government was forced to start an investigation, which was stopped midway. After years, his death is still a mystery.—Ashwani Shukla ( Publicist )
