Birla also mentioned the deep conviction Koshyari held regarding the development of the hills, the preservation of forests, and the safeguarding of natural resources.
In his remarks, Birla acknowledged that, whether serving as Chief Minister, Governor, or parliamentarian, Koshyari displayed neither arrogance nor an attachment to power.
He remained steadfast, always adhering to principles and rules, whether in office or not. Bhagat Singh Koshyari embodies service, dedication, integrity, and spirituality, said the Speaker, adding that every interaction with Koshyari had infused him with renewed energy to continue serving the nation.
