Mr Vajpayee was a true statesman. He never held political grudges. His politics was driven by consensus and his speeches or rhetoric were civilized. It's hard to imagine this kind of leader in today's highly polarized and partisan polity with a power hungry mindset.
Vajpayee ji words on starting a war was perfect and unfortunate that Putin has not heard those words… otherwise he would have thought twice before attacking Ukraine
Although I have heard these stories from Shekhar Ji before, it is a joy to hear this with regards to our beloved Atalji. Shekhar Ji should definitely consider penning his memoirs - he carries many memories from our collective consciousness between 1970s and now
He was called communal snd fascist in his time only marginally less than how you call Narendra Modi communal amd fascist. That is what i remember about his time.
Shekar, you forgot to mention one more meeting, where in he told you to not worry much about Khalisthan elements. Indian democracy is notnso week that these will Make a difference and not to worry about them.
We salute the great leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji. However, in present times, much like the poet Chand Bardai, who authored Prithviraj Raso and was known as a 'Chāṭak' (A "Chāṭak" poet refers to someone who praises and glorifies the ruling government or leadership, often creating works that highlight their virtues, accomplishments, or vision. The idea stems from historical times when poets or writers often composed verses to please kings or rulers, either out of genuine admiration, loyalty, or sometimes for personal gain or favor.) in his era, we see a similar role being played by 'ThePrint' Editor-in-Chief, Shekhar Gupta, and many more in our time.
Vajpai had made a sensible suggestion. As a gesture of good will Muslims give Hindus Ram janambhomi Ayodhya Kanshivisvanath Varanasi Krishan janambhomi Mathura and close this chapter once and for all
Imagine if India could find someone like Atalji again. Someone who can unify, can reach across the aisle and build consensus. Create laws and regulations with India’s future in mind without deceit and conceit.
Pravin togadia was sidelined. justice loya was killed. this is rss they just wipe out the weak. sushma and jatley was the bar above mody which he could not trespass so broke it he also tried to Wipeout Nitish but failed miserably. advani knows it all that is why he is sitting quiet doing his randibaazi inside private Bunglow.
Same Arun ji saved Amit shah in the courts for years. Remained Cabinet Minister after losing the elections. Finance Ministry in Mr. Modi 's full majority government happens when u are his close guy. Sushma ji was an External Minister and a very respected one. Her daughter is an MP. Has a great future. Try harder. 😂
Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayi ji was a poet and a gentleman but he was not a powerfull leader that India needed at that very moment of crisis. That's why communist journalist adore him so much.

What an insight. Hats off to Shekhar Gupta !
Long gone is the time when politicians respected each other and kept the national interest well above the political interest.
I'd say that there was a brief time when this was true 😅
not true congress always lived for special interests!
I would say it still does happen. It was a rare sight then, it is a rare sight now
Would love to know any example@@shikhachaudhary9955
Not all politicians were like that
Vajpayee ji words on starting a war was perfect and unfortunate that Putin has not heard those words… otherwise he would have thought twice before attacking Ukraine
The final conversation was very powerful.

Indeed he was great human being and a statesman for ages.
Great statesman of our times .
Pity Vajpayee ji had just a single full term tenure .
ATALJI WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST STATESMEN BHARTHMATA NEVER HAD
Enjoyed listening to this video again after a few years.
"Let no one challenge India's secularism".
- Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Wonderful insight into this great prime minister of our nation
The Legend
Vajpayeeji is a Great politician and Great statesman
And hate speech giver in ayodhya and also follower of maafiveer..
Interesting facets.
The BEST Indian Politician ❤
He was called communal snd fascist in his time only marginally less than how you call Narendra Modi communal amd fascist.
That is what i remember about his time.
can someone please briefly explain what atal ji said to modi ji when he said that famous raj dharma remark
He admonished Modi to perform his "Raj Dharma"
He himself gave hate speech in ayodhya too. You would find on UA-cam
🙏🙏🌼🌼

I know his aayodhya speech

.............🙏🙏
But the Lutyens media at that time was very harsh on him.
They deserve Modi
An actual bjp politician who wasnt a straight up extremist
Your leaders would be the authority on extremism anyway
Sir ,Congress , Congress dynasty should learn from AB vajpayee as to how to behave as opposition partyleader and opposition party in a democracy?😅
Leftists also salute RSS swayamsevak! Jai byarat 🫡
Pramod Mahajan was killed, his associate Sushma Swaraj Ji & Arun Jaitley were died from kidney problems, Modi & Amith Sha Jees came..?
