Chandigarh, June 30, 2025 – Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini expressed deep sorrow over the untimely demise of former Gujarat Chief Minister and Punjab BJP in-charge Vijay Rupani, who passed away in a tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad. Terming the loss as irreparable for the nation, the Chief Minister paid rich tributes to Rupani’s lifelong contributions to public service and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Saini was speaking at a condolence meeting organized at Ambedkar Bhawan, Chandigarh. The gathering was attended by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, BJP State President Mohan Lal Kaushik, and other senior dignitaries who paid their respects.
In his address, the Chief Minister described Vijay Rupani as a true Karmayogi, a visionary leader, and a person deeply rooted in Indian cultural values and nationalism. “His demise is a profound shock. He dedicated his entire life to the service of the nation, the party, and society,” said Saini.
Recalling Rupani’s ideology, the Chief Minister said it was inspired by the principles of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the BJP. “His political journey was guided by the ideals of patriotism, transparency, good governance, and public welfare. He was humble, hardworking, and an exemplary leader who brought meaningful change to Gujarat’s governance,” he added.
Rupani served as Chief Minister of Gujarat from August 7, 2016, to September 11, 2021, representing the Rajkot West constituency. At the time of his passing, he was serving as Punjab BJP in-charge and was actively involved in strengthening the BJP’s organizational structure in Haryana as well.
