Pm Modi receiving Lokmanya Tilak Award
Prime Minister Narendra Modi received the prestigious Lokmanya Tilak National Award in Pune. The event was organized on the 103rd Death anniversary of freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak. PM Modi expressed his heartfelt gratitude and remarked, “This is a memorable moment for me”. Even after mulitiple disapprovals the ‘INDIA’ alliance, Sharad Pawar shared stage with the Prime Minister. Not only that, they involved in a candid conversation on stage.
Sharad Pawar attended the ceremony to present PM Modi with the Lokmanya Tilak Award, honouring his “supreme leadership” and contribution to instilling a feeling of patriotism in the public.
Pawar chose to share the stage with Modi in opposition of demands from opposition INDIA alliance members. The members of the INDIA coalition were worried about how such a move would come across, particularly as they attempted to project a unified front against the BJP. Pawar refused to back down from attending the ceremony despite attempts by certain MPs to convince him otherwise.
On being conferred with Lokmanya Tilak National Award today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, says “I have decided to donate the prize money to the Namami Gange project. I want to dedicate this award to 140 crore people of the country”
