Country has lost a socially aware, fearless individual: Uddhav
‘Hamara Bajaj’ was the iconic jingle that resonated with the aspirations of the middle class in a pre-liberalised India. And the man behind that brand was one of the biggest and bravest industrialists — Rahul Bajaj. The Chairman Emeritus of the Bajaj Group died at a hospital in Pune on Saturday afternoon. He was 83. The last rites will be held on Sunday.
Bajaj will be accorded a state funeral, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Saturday as he and Governor B.S. Koshyari condoled the demise of the veteran industrialist. They said Bajaj’s contribution to industrial development in the country was unparalleled.
Mr. Thackeray said the country had not only lost an industrialist but also an individual who was socially aware, fearless and an inspiration to young industrialists. “He was never narrow-minded about his own business. He always took a clear and firm stand on problems faced by industries all over the country. As a true patriot, he commented on issues concerning the country,” he said in his condolence message.
