It is indeed a sad day for all of us as Vajpayee ji was not only a politician with great oratory skills, but he was also an acclaimed writer who wrote several poems.
Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee breathed his last today at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi after a long illness. The 93-year-old BJP leader was admitted because of kidney tract infection, chest congestion and his urine output was on the lower side in June. He was put on life support system by the doctors after his condition became critical in the last 24 hours.
He has been the Prime Minister Of India thrice (19 March 1998 – 22 May 2004, 16 May 1996 – 1 June 1996 and 1998–1999) and is the only PM to complete his tenure, who did not belong to the Congress party. He was also conferred with Bharat Ratna in 2004, the highest civilian honour given to any citizen of India. Needless to say, the entire country is mourning the loss along with PM Narendra Modi who called his demise the ‘end of an era.’ Not just politicians, even Bollywood celebrities are expressing their grief on Twitter. From Rajinikanth to Lata Mangeshkar, everyone is wishing peace for his soul.

A Titan has departed. There was more impact and gravitas in the pauses between his words, than there are in the petty political speeches we hear these days. #AtalBihariVaajpayee

#Atalji. Fine orator, statesman and a gentle heavyweight.

It is indeed a sad day for all of us as Vajpayee ji was not only a politician with great oratory skills, but he was also an acclaimed writer who wrote several poems. The BJP stalwart, during the later years, had withdrawn from public life and remained at home due to illness.
