That place is now indeed a Heaven. As Atal & Kalam both are there now. #AtalBihariVaajpayee

Confession: I once told Vajpayee Iâd never voted for him. He squirmed in mock horror & said âabhi kuchch aur mashaqqat karni padegi,â (Iâll need to slog harder). Here was a PM you could tell you didnât vote for, and it didnât affect the trust, affection & time he gave you. RIP
