BJP's UP president, Pankaj Chaudhary, called Charan Singh a true champion of farmers.

Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, in a post on X, said his leadership for farmer welfare, social justice and the empowerment of rural India remains an invaluable legacy for nation-building.

Brajesh Pathak, also a deputy chief minister, conveyed his greetings to the state's farmers on the occasion.

A stalwart grassroots leader, Charan Singh served as India's prime minister from July 28, 1979, to January 14, 1980. He was born in 1902 in Meerut's Noorpur and also served as Uttar Pradesh's chief minister.
