NEW DELHI: The five-year term of M Venkaiah Naidu as vice-president and ex-officio chairman of Rajya Sabha on Monday came to an end with senior leaders heaping lavish praise on him. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s generous compliments were also a reminder of the manner in which he had criticised Naidu’s predecessor Hamid Ansari almost five years ago.
Naidu was bid farewell by MPs on the last day of Rajya Sabha’s monsoon session. MPs of several political parties paid rich tributes to the outgoing chairman of the Upper House during the farewell speech.
