टंडनजी के साथ मुझे लम्बे समय तक काम करने का अवसर मिला। उनका लम्बा सार्वजनिक जीवन जनता की सेवा में समर्पित रहा और उन्होंने अपने काम से एक अलग छाप छोड़ी है। १/२
मध्यप्रदेश के राज्यपाल लालजी टंडन जी के निधन का समाचार सुनकर दुःखी हूं। प्रतिकूल स्थिति में पहले जनसंघ और फिर भाजपा को उत्तर प्रदेश में मजबूत करने में टंडन जी का बड़ा योगदान रहा है।
