I WAS YOUR PRIME MINISTER!

आहुति बाकि यज्ञ अधूरा 

अपनों के विघ्नों ने घेरा 

अंतिम जय का वज्र बनाने 

नव दधिची हड्डिया गलाए 

आओ फिर से दिया जलाये  

-पं. अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी 

25 December 1924, Christmas was being, celebrated in the British India. That time in the house of Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee in Gwalior, a boy was born. The boy was from a middle class Brahmin family and, who was going to be the 11^th PM of India. The boy was a poet, a diplomat, a Prime Minister and a noble man from his personality. Oh! So sorry I did not tell you, He is Bihari too, “Atal Bihari”. Atal Bihari Vajpayee completed his schooling from the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, and after that, he went to Victoria College in Gwalior, from where he graduated in Hindi, English and Sanskrit. He did his M.A. in political science with distinction from Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College, Kanpur.

He joined the Rastriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) in 1939. He was associated with the youth wing of Arya Samaj too, of which he became the General Secretary in 1944. Due to the riots of 1947 between Hindus and Muslims, he gave up studying law. He also worked for the newspapers of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya Rastradharma (a Hindi monthly), Panchjanya (a Hindi weekly) and dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun.

Vajpayee ji never married and, remained a bachelor throughout his entire life. When he became PM, he performed Pokhran 2, a test to understand the nuclear strength of India. India faced an economic ban from the USA and many other developed nations, but Atal ji did not give up and struggle that situation with great bravery. He faced Kargil war, a backstabbing by Pakistan, that time every leader of the opposition tried to degrade Atal ji, but just like his name “Atal” (Firm, Concrete) he faced every bad situation and survived that time too. He was the PM who initiated Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which joined every possible village of the nation; roads from it connected every poorest and backward area of the nation. He laid National Highway network, which changed the view of the infrastructure in our nation. He was the person who dreamed to provide mobile phones to the poorest of the poorest person of the India, and who set the rates so that anyone can afford them.

Everyone, every political leader of this nation, respects him. He was the person who maintained the secularism of the nation in true meaning. He never tried to dishearten any religion in the nation. He has done every possible thing for the nation, created jobs, brought investment, maintained good bonds with neighbour nations, controlled inflation and fulfilled every promise, which he made to the nation. He was, he is and he will always be the best politician in our political history. I wish him a healthy and long life. Thank you, Atal ji for your contribution, to the nation and, in the growth of it. We owe so much to you. I wish you a very happy birthday and merry Christmas. Moreover, friends, yes “He Was Our Prime Minister”.
