Recalling the contribution made by his father in the betterment of the country, he said despite a long 50 years of political career, his father remained just nine years in power but this did not deter him from working for the downtrodden and minorities. Bahuguna said his father had clear vision on the development of hill areas.“He always believed in maintaining harmony and benevolence with even his adversaries,” the CM said, adding that his father was of the opinion that a leader was successful in the real sense only if he is easily accessible for the common man. Attacking communalism, Bahuguna said people who divide society on the basis of caste, religion and community were not well-wishers of the state. He said though his birthplace was Allahabad, his ‘karmbhumi’ was Uttarakhand. Uttarkhand Irrigation Minister Yashpal Arya said Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna was a man of vision and a good policy maker. He said Bahuguna always worked to bring minorities into the mainstream of society. “He was well-aware of the problems existing in the hill areas. We are sure that now incumbent Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna will realise the dreams seen by his father and take the state towards prosperity,” Arya said. Senior Congress leader and former Opposition leader Harak Singh Rawat recalled the late Bahuguna frequenting his school at Devalgarh in Garhwal. Uttarakhand Congress vice-president Suryakant Dhasmana, who coordinated the programme, recalled HN Bahuguna’s contribution towards strengthening the secularism of the country. “Bahuguna was known as tallest secular leader of the country in his times,” he pointed out.
