His invaluable contribution has been behind the rise of the BJP and its successes in Bihar. Strongly opposing the Emergency, he had carved a niche for himself in student politics. He was known as a very hardworking and friendly MLA. His understanding of subjects related to politics was very deep. He also did commendable work as an administrator.
