Vajpayee architect of India’s transition into 21st century: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the architect of India’s transition into the 21st century and said the BJP stalwart ushered in reforms that set the stage for India’s economic surge, abandoning an economic philosophy which encouraged cronyism and stagnation.

In an article which appeared in several newspapers on the 100th birth anniversary of Vajpayee, Modi said he spent his long parliamentary tenure largely in the opposition benches but never carried any trace of bitterness even though the Congress stooped to new lows by going to the extent of calling him a “traitor”.

Modi said, “He stands tall as a statesman who continues to inspire countless people.”

The prime minister said Vajpayee provided stable and effective governance at a time when people were getting impatient and sceptical about the government’s ability to deliver due to the political instability of the ’90s when four Lok Sabha polls were held in about nine years.

Coming from humble roots, Vajpayee realised the struggles of the common citizen and the transformative power of effective governance, Modi said, adding that the long-term impact of his leadership is visible in several sectors.

His era marked a gigantic leap in the world of information technology, telecom and communications, he said.

“The NDA government under Atal ji made the first serious attempt to make technology accessible to citizens. At the same time, there was foresight in connecting India. Even today, most people recall the Golden Quadrilateral Project which connected the length and breadth of India,” he said.

He also cited initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and the push for Metro connectivity by doing extensive work for the Delhi Metro, which stands out as a world-class infrastructure project.

He said, “The Vajpayee government not only boosted economic growth but also brought distant regions closer, fostering unity and integration.

An initiative like the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan highlights how Vajpayee dreamt of building an India where modern education is accessible to people across the nation, particularly the poor and marginalised sections, he added.

His government’s decision to carry out nuclear tests and its handling of the aftermath provide a wonderful example of his leadership, Modi said.

He said, “The world was stunned that India had done the tests and expressed their anger in no uncertain terms. Any ordinary leader would have buckled, but Atal ji was made differently. And what happened? India stood firm, with the government calling for another set of tests two days later, on May 13.”

His persona was magnetic and his life was enriched by his love for literature and expression, he said.

Modi said for so many Bharatiya Janata Party members like him, it is their privilege that they were able to learn and interact with a person like Vajpayee.

Whenever the choice came between ideology and power, Vajpayee always chose the former, Modi said.

“He was able to convince the nation that an alternative world view from the Congress was possible and such a world view could deliver,” he said, asking people to rededicate themselves to realising his ideals and fulfilling his vision for India
