एक और युग पुरुष जो शानदार व्यक्तित्व के मालिक थे, भूतपूर्व प्रधानमंत्री अटल बिहारी वाजपेई जी अपना नश्वर शरीर छोड़ कर प्रभु चरणों में जा विराजे हैं।
कुछ शब्द अटल जी के लिए:
नेता आते हैं चले जाते हैं,
कुछ ऐसे होते हैं जो सदा दिल में रहते हैं।
ऐसी ही शख्सियत आप की
हर कोई अटल बन नहीं सकता।

ऐसी ही शख्सियत आप की
हर कोई अटल बन नहीं सकता।

India grieves the demise of our beloved Atal Ji.
His passing away marks the end of an era. He lived for the nation and served it assiduously for decades. My thoughts are with his family, BJP Karyakartas and millions of admirers in this hour of sadness. Om Shanti.
It was Atal Ji's exemplary leadership that set the foundations for a strong, prosperous and inclusive India in the 21st century. His futuristic policies across various sectors touched the lives of each and every citizen of India.
End Of An Era, A Leader With No Enemies.
We Lost A Great Son Of Mother India.

He served as the Member of Parliament for Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh until 2009 when he retired from active politics due to health concerns. Vajpayee was among the founding members of the erstwhile Bharatiya Jana Sangh which he also headed from 1968 to 1972. He was the Minister of External Affairs in the cabinet of Prime Minister Morarji Desai.
When the Janata government collapsed, Vajpayee restructured the Jana Sangh into the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980. He was the first Indian prime minister not belonging to the Indian National Congress to serve a full five-year term. At age 93, Vajpayee is currently the oldest living former Indian Prime Minister.
He was conferred India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, by the President of India in 2014.[2] It was declared by the Modi government in 2014 that Vajpayee's birthday, 25 December, would be marked as Good Governance Day
First term as PM: May 1996
Second term as PM: 1998–1999
Third term as PM: 1999–2004
Vajpayee remained unmarried. He adopted Namita Bhattacharya, the daughter of BN Kaul and Rajkumari Kaul.
He was fond of Indian music and dance. He loved nature and one of his favourite retreats was Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
He was a published poet, and with regard to his poetry he wrote, "My poetry is a declaration of war, not an exordium to defeat. It is not the defeated soldier's drumbeat of despair, but the fighting warrior's will to win. It is not the despirited voice of dejection but the stirring shout of victory
