His contributions to the party extended beyond organizational work, as he was also elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Jan Sangh twice, in 1974 and 1977.
It is noteworthy that during the second COVID-19 lockdown, PM Modi had personally reached out to Narayan ‘Bhulai Bhai’, urging all citizens to prioritize the care of their elders.
