Jannayak Atalji (Sampoorn Jeevani) (Hindi Edition)

A compassionate, visionary politician, a sensitive poet. Loved by friends and foes alike, Atal Bihari Vajpayee is truly a leader of the people. He began his political career as one of the earliest members of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Then, in the late 1960s, Vajpayee emerged as a Member of Parliament for a major opposition party. He became Foreign Minister in the briefly-ruled Janata government and, in 1999, led the first non-Congress government to complete its full term. This achievement is made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was achieved by a coalition government. A disciple of Jana Sangh stalwarts like Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, Vajpayee earned the admiration of Jawaharlal Nehru, whom his daughter Indira Gandhi consulted, and whom he never hesitated to criticize. He befriended the radical labor union leader George Fernandes, who later became his ally. In this way, he demonstrated an amazing ability to integrate all political views. Under his leadership, the NDA government laid the foundation for Indias new construction in six years. In this book, senior journalist Kingshuk Nag highlights the complete personality and work of Atalji, a shining star on the Indian political horizon. An authentic book for understanding his life in its entirety.
