New Delhi, August 8, 2022: Outgoing Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu got emotional while listening to TMC MP Derek O'Brien's moving speech on his last working day in the house.
MP Derek O Brien recalled how Naidu lost his mother when he was just 1.
" Once a family in a village owned 8 pairs of bullock. One day one of these bullock actually gauged a lady in the stomach. The lady was carrying a baby. A 1-year-old boy. The lady dropped the child, obviously. The lady was taken to the hospital and she passed away and the child lost his mother at the age of one. This is your story Sir, of an early loss," MP Derek O Brien while speaking to Naidu in the house.
Venkaiah Naidu was seen wiping his tears.
Similarly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lauded the retiring Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu for the multiple roles he played in his long political career and complimented him on his witty one-liners.
Delivering a farewell speech in the Rajya Sabha two days ahead of Naidu's retirement, the Prime Minister said he has worked with Naidu closely over the years and seen him take up different responsibilities and perform each of them with great dedication. Lauding the power of speech of the vice President, PM Modi said, "The one-liners of Venkaiah Naidu ji are famous. They are wit-liners. His command over the languages has always been great."
