His integrity and self-discipline in politics made the BJP beloved among the masses. Like the Pole Star, Atal ji will forever guide our citizens in national service.”
BJP President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda praised Vajpayee’s impact on Indian politics, saying, “Revered Atal Ji elevated the standards of integrity and service in our political landscape. His role in establishing India as a global superpower is unforgettable.” He described Vajpayee’s life as an inspiration and noted that ‘Good Governance Day’ reflects his commitment to comprehensive national development.

His contributions to India’s progress are immeasurable. Today, on his 100th birth anniversary, I offer my humble tribute.”
Vajpayee, celebrated as a statesman and visionary, served as India’s Prime Minister three times and played a crucial role in shaping modern India. His leadership continues to inspire millions across the country.
