'''Madhav Prasad Tripathi''' (1912- 1984) was a leader of [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] from [[Uttar Pradesh]]. He was an Indian philosopher, [[sociologist]], historian and political scientist. He was one of the most important leaders of the [[Bharatiya Jana Sangh]] and played key role in establishing the party, the forerunner of the present day [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].<br />
<br />
Early life and education<br />
<br />
He was born in 1912 in the village Tiwaripur, Bansi near the district Basti(Presently in Siddharthanagar). His father was a well known learned person and was active in Indian freedom movement. He was a quick learner from his early childhood and showed signs of working for the society at very young age.<br />
<br />
While he was a student at Banaras Hindu University, [[Varanasi]] in 1937, he came into contact with the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh|Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)]]. He met the founder of the RSS, [[K. B. Hedgewar]], who engaged with him in an intellectual discussion at one of the shakhas. He dedicated himself to full-time work in the RSS from 1942. He had attended the 40-day summer vacation RSS camp at [[Nagpur]] where he underwent training in Sangh Education. After completing second-year training in the RSS Education Wing, Shri Madahav Tripathi became a lifelong ''[[RSS pracharak|pracharak]]'' of the RSS. He worked as the ''pracharak'' for the Lakhimpur district and, from 1955, as the joint ''prant'' ''pracharak'' (regional organiser) for Uttar Pradesh. He was regarded as an ideal [[swayamsevak]] of the RSS essentially because ‘his discourse reflected the pure thought-current of the Sangh’.<br />
<br />
In 1951, when [[Syama Prasad Mookerjee]] founded the [[Bharatiya Jana Sangh]], Deendayal was seconded to the party by the RSS, tasked with moulding it into a genuine member of the [[Sangh Parivar]].<br />
<br />
He was a member of [[Lok Sabha]] elected from [[Domariaganj]] in 1977. He was born in 1917 in [[Bansi]], [[Basti district]] and studied law. He was a member of [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council]] during 1958–62 and a member of [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly]] during 1962–66 and 1969–77 periods elected as a candidate of [[Jan Sangh]]. He served as leader of opposition in [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly]] and also as cabinet minister in the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]] too.<ref>[http://164.100.47.132/LssNew/biodata_1_12/2627.htm Members Bioprofile<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> He was first ever state president of [[Bharatiya Janata Party|Bhartiya Janta Party]] [[Uttar Pradesh|Uttar Praddesh]].<br />
<br />
He was mentor to present day many senior leaders of BJP who hailed from eastern Uttar Pradesh, some of the prominent names include Shri [[Rajnath Singh]], Shri [[Kalraj Mishra]], Dr. [[Mahendra Nath Pandey]], Late Shri Harish Srivastav. He was a close aide of Shri [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]] and was his trusted person for Uttar Pradesh. Although Madha Babu was a BJP politician he enjoyed great respect from other party leaders including Late Shri [[Charan Singh|Chaudhary Charan Singh]], [[Mulayam Singh Yadav]] . There is a famous incident that once Madhav Babu lost legislative elections of Uttar Pradesh to Freedom Fighter [[Prabhudayal Vidyarthi]], then Chaudhary Charan Singh got him elected to legislative assembly as a [[Member of the Legislative Council (India)|MLC]] by asking his party [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLAs]] to vote for his favor.<br />
<br />
In 1980s Madahv Babu was on peak of his political career and his down to earth approach and humility made him a people leader. Even when he was leader of opposition the ruling party MLA's and leaders always looked for his advice.<br />
