In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kharge said,
“Humble tributes on the death anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji — the creator of modern India, who led the nation from ground zero to the peak. He championed India’s progress in science, economy, and industry, and was a constant advocate of ‘unity in diversity.’ The 21st-century India we live in today is unimaginable without his invaluable contributions.”

Jawaharlal Nehru, a key figure in India’s freedom struggle, became independent India’s first Prime Minister in 1947 and served for over 16 years until his passing on May 27, 1964, due to a heart attack. He was succeeded by Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Nehru is widely remembered for his commitment to democratic values, secularism, and global peace through the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which he pioneered. Affectionately called ‘Chacha Nehru’ for his love for children, his birth anniversary on November 14 is celebrated as Children’s Day across India.
