Atal Bihari Vajapayee, one of the best leader India ever had. His thoughts were modern, yes unlike narrow minded RSS. Today’s BJP is so much about communalism, Hatred and hyper nationalism. So many people now think if you support any other party/ideology, they are anti national.

This is sad, I wish what i said was wrong.
I feel Vajapayee was a BJP leader who cared even about minorities. Nation needs leader like him unlike Modi or Yogi who is gonna be the next pm face for Bjp after modi unfortunately.
P.S: I am BJP supporter too but a secular too.

While comparisons between Nehruji and Vajpayeeji are entirely justified, they now belong to the same historical pantheon of great Indian Prime Ministers, it would be a travesty to equate Shri L K Advani with Sardar Patel.
