It was just only a day when our hearts were filled with pride and country was still celebrating India’s 72nd Independence Day, and, we heard the most saddening news. Former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s demise.
Atalji breathed his last yesterday at 5.05pm on August 16 and passed away at the age of 93. Battling with age related problems from last two months, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was admitted at Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi since June 11 this year.
Dr Prathap Reddy, Founder & Chairman, Apollo – “An era comes to an end with the passing away of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The nation has lost not just a Bharat Ratna, a statesman par excellence, but also an admirable human being. His gift with words, his decency and grace in dealing with friends and foes were the mark of an exemplary life in politics. His warmth and soft-spoken charming manner ensured he was loved by all whose lives he touched. He put the nation on the fast track with initiatives like the Golden Quadrilateral project, the New Telecom Policy, the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan and the Fiscal Responsibility Act that laid down the path for future governments to follow.”
Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji who is also known as India’s tallest leader was a great politician, phenomenal poet, effective orator and above all, he was a great human being with greatest virtue and visions for our country. The country has lost the shining gem of an era and every single person is grieving the death of BJP(Bharatiya Janata Party) leader Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

“मौत की उमर क्या है? दो पल भी नहीं,
ज़िन्दगी सिलसिला, आज कल की नहीं
मैं जी भर जिया, मैं मन से मरूं,
लौटकर आऊँगा, कूच से क्यों डरूं?” #अटल_बिहारी_बाजपेयी #AtalBihariVaajpayee pic.twitter.com/eTkzyAJRy8— Randeep Hooda (@RandeepHooda) August 16, 2018
