In politics, it is said that neither anyone is a friend of anyone nor an enemy of anyone. Because politics is completely considered a game of possibilities based on which one has to reach the top of the throne, in politics too, the friendship of many people is seen to be of such a color that it becomes an example. There are many such stories of friendship in Indian politics too, which are famous not only in the country but all over the world. However, the friendship of some leaders later fell prey to selfishness. In such a situation, on the occasion of Friendship Day 2024, we are telling you about such politicians whose friendship stories people do not get tired of telling.
The friendship between Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani is remarkable.
The relationship between Vajpayee and Advani was more than friendship. Both of these leaders came into politics at almost the same time and also struggled together. In 1998, when the BJP emerged as the single largest party, Advani, who became very famous for the Rath Yatra, sacrificed his political ambition and paved the way for Atal Bihari Vajpayee to become the Prime Minister of India.
Narendra Modi and Amit Shah's friendship (Narendra Modi-Amit Shah Friendship)
India's current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah's friendship are well known. The friendship between these two leaders is almost 40 years old, and today they are running the country together. Both of these leaders met each other through the RSS. After this, when Narendra Modi became the CM of Gujarat, Amit Shah was made the Minister of State for Home. When Modi is the Prime Minister today, Amit Shah is the Home Minister. Even today in Indian politics, no one else seems to come close to the friendship of Amit Shah and Modi. In this successful pair of Modi and Shah, there is friendship as well as the hard work of both in fulfilling political ambitions.
Friendship between Rajiv Gandhi and Amitabh Bachchan
When Amitabh Bachchan and Rajiv Gandhi met each other, both were 4 and 2 years old, respectively. Both of them met at 'Big B's' birthday party in Prayagraj, UP. Amitabh's mother, Teji Bachchan, and Rajiv Gandhi's mother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, were both friends. Indira Gandhi considered Amitabh to be her third son. When Indira Gandhi died, Big B attended her last journey and sat near her body the whole time.
Friendship between Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish
The friendship between former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also been amazing. However, there have been many times in politics when these two friends became staunch opponents of each other. Nitish Kumar changed political tactics many times, left Lalu's friendship, and was seen standing with the BJP. However, there is still friendship between the two, but nothing more than the need for politics.
Amar and Mulayam's friendship (Mulayam Singh Yadav Amar Singh Friendship)
The friendship between former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh was so deep that Mulayam made him the General Secretary of the Samajwadi Party. In 2002, when Saifai Mahotsav was organized for the first time, Amar Singh reached there with Amitabh Bachchan and many Bollywood celebrities. The whole of UP was shocked to see the way all the big personalities of Bollywood reached Saifai Mahotsav. Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh first met during an air journey. When Mulayam Singh Yadav was traveling by air in the year 1996, Mulayam Singh was also present on the same flight, and both of them met. At that time, Mulayam Singh Yadav used to be the defense minister of the country. However, in the last phase of his life, this friendship between Amar Singh and Mulayam turned sour.
