'About the BJP stalwart'
Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a widely respected politician and one of the finest orators of his time, played a pivotal role in expanding the BJP's reach by building alliances during the coalition era of the 1990s. He became the first Prime Minister from the BJP to complete his tenure from 1998 to 2004, a period marked by significant reforms and infrastructure development. Vajpayee passed away in 2018 at the age of 93.
