On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said that Shri Vyas was one of the pioneers of Chhattisgarh politics. He was a Rajya Sabha MP from Chhattisgarh state from 2006 to 2012. Shri Vyas ji was a great saint even while being a householder. His simplicity and modesty impressed everyone. The Chief Minister said that it was my good fortune that I got a chance to work with him.
