Meanwhile, current Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited him in the hospital, AIIMS. He is utterly shocked at his demise.

However, it is an end of an era with the demise of Atal Bihari Vajpayee owing to the political field. Sachin Tendulkar is currently enjoying his life outside cricket for the last six years.

However, Vajpayee has always been a firm supporter and a devotee of Indian cricket.

“It was Atal Ji’s exemplary leadership that set the foundations for a strong, prosperous and inclusive India in the 21st century. His futuristic policies across various sectors touched the lives of each and every citizen of India. It was due to the perseverance and struggles of Atal Ji that the BJP was built brick by brick. He travelled across the length and breadth of India to spread the BJP’s message, which led to the BJP becoming a strong force in our national polity and in several states,” PM Modi said.
