"An era of timidity and hesitation, bordering on paralysis, under the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance has ended,” Jaswant had added.
Prime Minister Modi had responded positively to Jaswant Singh's softening of stand and wrote a letter to the expelled BJP leader seeking his contribution in "nation-buidling".
Jaswant Singh was born to Thakur Sardara Singh and Kunwar Baisa on January 3, 1938 at village Jasol in Barmer district of Rajasthan. Jaswant Singh was married to Sheetal Kumari and the couple was blessed with two sons.
Jaswant Singh's son Manvendra Singh is a BJP MLA in Rajasthan but his relationship with party has also soured after he reportedly campaigned for his father in Barmer in 2014 LS elections. He was expelled from party's national executive for campaigning against party's official candidate.
