Paying tribute, VHP general secretary Shri Champat Rai described him as an extremely honest and brave police officer who caught a number of dreaded dacoits of  his time in Uttar Pradesh. “He was class fellow of former Prime Minister late Vishwanath Pratap Singh. His contribution during Shri Ramjanmabhoomi movement was also immense,” he said.
Senior BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi said: “My 61 years old friend with extraordinary personality has departed. He was a great pillar of Hindutva. His death is not only my personal loss but also the entire nation’s loss.”
Leader of Opposition Smt Sushma Swaraj described him ‘a fearless orator who always spoke with logic. He was a pillar of the ideology,  Dr Subramanian Swamy said. BP Singhal was an intellectual and patriot par excellence. His memory will keep all of us enthused. Dr Mahesh Chandra of Sanskritik Gaurav Sansthan described him a great personality dedicated to the nation.
