Who Is Ramesh? Talking About Whom PM Modi Turns Emotional

During a rally in Tamil Nadu’s Salem, on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi became emotional as he remembered BJP state general secretary ‘auditor’ V Ramesh, who was reportedly murdered in Salem in 2013.

In his speech, the Prime Minister highlighted V Ramesh’s tireless dedication to the party. “Today, as I stand in Salem, I recall Auditor Ramesh… Today, Salem has lost its Ramesh. Ramesh worked tirelessly for the party. He was a committed leader and an excellent orator who worked diligently,” PM Modi expressed, paying homage to the late leader.

V Ramesh, aged 54, served as the BJP state general secretary and was tragically murdered by an unknown group within his residence compound in Maravaneri area, Salem, in 2013.

Who was ‘Auditor’ Ramesh?

– V Ramesh, an auditor by profession, served as the state general secretary of the BJP in Salem.

– On July 19, 2013, the 52-year-old BJP leader was brutally attacked near his home by unknown assailants wielding sharp-edged weapons.

– The attack occurred as Ramesh was returning home from his office, where he had been discussing party matters around 9 pm.

– Then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi personally called to inquire about the tragic incident.

– The murder of V Ramesh led to heightened tensions in the region, resulting in protests that included stoning government buses and necessitating school closures.

– In October 2013, media outlets reported on Narendra Modi’s rally in Tiruchi, where he notably refrained from praising then Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa.

– This omission was attributed to Modi’s dissatisfaction with the state government’s perceived lack of progress in investigating Auditor Ramesh’s murder.

– Prime Minister Modi also honored the late Lakshmanan, acknowledging his significant contributions to the BJP’s growth in Tamil Nadu.

– He praised Lakshmanan’s role in the anti-emergency movement and highlighted his involvement in various socio-cultural activities, as well as his establishment of several schools in the state.
