Pioneer of coalition politics, stalwart, statesman, visionary, poet, Bharat Ratna Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee breathed his last today after prolonged illness. He was one of the few last surviving pre-independence era leaders who has made a tremendous impact on Indian polity and the first non-Congress prime minister to complete full term. One of the founders of erstwhile Jan Sangh, he was arrested in 1942 during the Quit India Movement, he was elected to Parliament in 1957. Ever since he was elected to Lok Sabha ten times and twice to Rajya Sabha.
A mesmerising orator who had all the time in the World, to carefully articulate his message with right usage of words would forever be remembered for his amazing prosaic and poetic dictions. His chaste Hindi brewed with poetic analogies on the floor of the parliaments during the debates always received special appreciation and mention even from unexpected corners.
Even now, people would remember and reminisce his iconic lecture in the Parliament when his 13-day government lost the no confidence motion just by a single vote. He made a mark as the first foreign affairs minister of India to address the UNGA in Hindi. His soul stirring speeches from the time of emergency gradually paved way for his steady rise in politics.
During his prime ministership by majestically conducting six nuclear tests under Operation Shakti in 1998, he put India in the category of a responsible nuclear power. While he made every effort to reach out to Pakistan through Lahore declaration, Aman ki asha and the bus trip, Islamabad reciprocated his overt friendly gestures through nasty and clandestine intrusions leading to the Kargil war 1999. NDA I headed by Vajpayee laid foundation for a stable and strong India. He stabilised, strengthened economy, unveiled telecom revolution, and prioritised infrastructure development. Undeterred by western sanctions post Pokhran nuclear tests, when India was considered a pariah nation, he liberalised economy further and welcomed foreign investments. On the other hand, he even championed for antoyadaya or reaching out to the last man.
His characteristic political wit, humour, gentle satire and spontaneous subtle sarcasm has won him accolades even from his political rivals. Current crop of Indian politicians must imbibe this rare attribute to enhance the fragrance of political harmony in a parliamentary democracy like ours.
While the results of his efforts couldn't be realised in his tenure, UPA regime reaped rich benefits from these initiatives who brazenly gobbled the fruits of his meticulous planning and vision. Unfortunately, Indian electorate failed to appreciate the sincere efforts of Vajpayee, who suffered massive electoral drubbing. The catch phrase of "Vibrant India" failed to win over the hearts and minds of Indian electorate.
Under his regime even liberals thrived well who openly remarked him as the right politician in a wrong party. Currently, all his sharpest political critiques are reaping praise on the stalwart and appropriating his political legacy. The long illustrious political career of Vajpayee will be remembered for posterity for his commitment, sincerity and virtuosity. India will truly miss the tallest leader in the Post-independence era....
Submitting resignation after losing the trust vote
Om Shanti !!!!!
