Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an Indian politician who thrice served as the Prime Minister of India, first for a term of 13 days in 1996, for a period of eleven months from 1998 to 1999, and then for a full term from 1999 to 2004. Vajpayee was born to Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee on 25 December 1924 in Gwalior. His grandfather, Pandit Shyam Lal Vajpayee, had migrated to Morena, Gwalior from his ancestral village of Bateshwar, Uttar Pradesh. 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." He was conferred India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, by the President of India in 2015. The Modi government declared in 2014 that Vajpayee's birthday, 25 December, would be marked as Good Governance Day.



         How Vajpayee ji died

Vajpayee underwent knee replacement surgery at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai in 2001. He suffered a stroke in 2009 which impaired his speech. His health had been a major source of concern and those in the know said he was often confined to a wheelchair and failed to recognise people. He also suffered from dementia and long-term diabetes. For many years, he was not known to have attended any public event and rarely ventured out of the house, except for checkups at the AIIMS. On 11 June 2018, Vajpayee was admitted to a hospital in critical condition. He died at 5:05 pm IST on 16 August 2018 at AIIMS hospital due to age related illness.


         Kargil War




During 1999 KARGIL WAR, America made a phone call to Mr. Atal Vajpayee ji at night and advised him to give Kashmir to Pakistan or else Pakistan would launch nuclear bomb on India. But Vajpayee ji replied, "I already considered that 50% India has been wiped off but I can assure you that there would be no sign of Pakistan on world map by tommorrow morning" and he hanged up. That attitude made him legend.




A great salute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji from our team

Most Romantic Places in Goa for Couples
