Atal Bihari Vajpayee ,93, left for Heavenly Abode  today at05:05  pm  according to an official declaration .

 

Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee continues to be on life support system since Wednesday and as per hospital sources at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) his condition “is very critical”.

A press release from the AIIMS on Thursday morning said: “Former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s condition continues to be the same. He is critical and is on life support systems.”

On August 16 morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited AIIMS to enquire about the health condition of Mr. Vajpayee, his second visit in less than 24 hours. Mr. Modi had visited the hospital on Wednesday evening to enquire about the BJP leader’s condition.

On Thursday morning, Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu and BJP leaders, including Home Minister Rajnath Singh, party president Amit Shah and BJP veteran L.K. Advani, also visited the AIIMS to enquire about him.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an iconic leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), known for his cultural moderation, liberalism and political reasonableness. He became the Prime Minister of India thrice. It was during his tenure that India successfully conducted nuclear tests at Pokhran and renewed hopes for peace between India and Pakistan emerged with the start of the New Delhi-Lahore bus service. His government has been till date the only non-Congress government to stay in power for five years. Besides being a seasoned politician and outstanding parliamentarian, Atal Bihari Vajpayee is also a renowned poet and a highly popular personality across the political spectrum.

The Narendra Modi Government has announced the conferment of Bharat Ratna on former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His birthday on 25 December has been declared as ‘Good Governance Day’. Famous for his oratorical skills.

Early life

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was born in a middle-class Brahmin family to Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee on 25 December, 1924 in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh). His father was a poet and a school teacher. Vajpayee did his schooling from the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Gwalior. Later, he studied at Victoria College, Gwalior – now Laxmi Bai College, for his graduation. It was at Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College, Kanpur that Vajpayee completed his post-graduation in Political Science.

Joining as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker in 1939, Vajpayee became a pracharak (full-time worker) in 1947. He also worked for Rashtradharma Hindi monthly, Panchjanya Hindi weekly and the dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun.

Vajpayee chose to stay bachelor for whole life.

Political Career

Atal Bihari Vajpayee began his career in politics as a freedom fighter. Later he joined the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), a Hindu right-wing political party, under the leadership of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee. He became national secretary of BJS in charge of the Northern region.

As the new leader of BJS, Vajpayee was elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time in 1957 from Balrampur. He rose to become the national president of the Jana Sangh in 1968. Supported by his colleagues Nanaji Deshmukh, Balraj Madhok and L K Advani, Vajpayee took the Jana Sangh to greater glory.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee participated in the Total Revolution movement launched by Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) against the Internal Emergency imposed by then prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1975. In 1977, Jana Sangh became a part of the Janata Party, the grand-alliance against the Indira Gandhi government.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee became a Union Minister in 1977 when Morarji Desai-led Janata Party coalition came to power for the first time. He became the Minister of External Affairs. As foreign minister, Vajpayee became the first person to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in Hindi. His career as a minister was short-lived as he resigned from his post following the resignation of Morarji Desai in 1979. But by then, Vajpayee had established himself as a political leader.

Vajpayee along with Lal Krishna Advani, Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and others from the BJS and Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) formed the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980. He became a strong critic of the Congress (I) government that followed the fall of Janata Party government.

Vajpayee did not support Operation Blue Star and raised his voice against the anti-Sikh violence after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 by two of her Sikh bodyguards.

The BJP won two parliamentary seats in the 1984 elections. Vajpayee functioned as BJP President and Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament. Known for his liberal views, Vajpayee bemoaned the demolition of the Babri Mosque on 6 December, 1992 and declared it as the BJP’s “worst miscalculation”.

As Prime Minister of India

By 1984 elections, the BJP had established itself as an important political party in Indian politics. Vajpayee was sworn in as the 10th Prime Minister of India following the 1996 General Elections, where the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the Lok Sabha. However, the government collapsed after only 13 days after his government could not gather support from other parties to obtain a majority. He thus became the shortest serving Prime Minister in India.

The BJP-led coalition government came back to power as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 1998. Vajpayee was again sworn in as the Prime Minister.

Vajpayee’s second term as PM is known for Nuclear tests conducted at Pokhran desert in Rajasthan, in May 1998. Vajpayee also pushed for peace process with Pakistan. He inaugurated the historic Delhi-Lahore bus service in February 1999. He also pitched for resolving the Kashmir dispute and other conflicts with Pakistan.

But Pakistan ditched India by launching Kargil War, wherein Pakistani soldiers infiltrated into the Kashmir Valley and captured border hilltops around the town of Kargil.

Indian army units, under Operation Vijay, fought Pakistani intruders braving heavy artillery shelling amidst extremely cold weather, and treacherous hilly terrain, and ultimately emerged victorious. However, Vajpayee’s government lasted 13 months when the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) withdrew its support to the government in mid-1999.

In the following election, however, the NDA came back with full majority and Vajpayee was able to complete five years (1999-2004) in office as a non-Congress PM for the first time. Atal Bihari Vajpayee took oath as Prime Minister of India for the third time on 13 October 1999.

However, his third term also saw India yielding to terrorists when in December 1999, Indian Airlines flight IC 814 from Kathmandu to New Delhi was hijacked and taken to Kandahar, Afghanistan. The government had to release dread terrorists including Maulana Masood Azhar from prison to secure the freedom of passengers. On the brighter side, the Vajpayee government introduced many economic and infrastructural reforms, including encouraging the private sector and foreign investments. It also undertook National Highway Development Projects and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. Vajpayee adopted pro-business, free-market reforms approach to boost India’s economic development.

In March 2000, Vajpayee signed the Historic Vision Document during the visit of the then US President Bill Clinton. The Declaration incorporated several strategic issues, apart from pitching for expansion in trade and economic ties between the two countries.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee again tried for peace with Pakistan during the Agra summit with the then Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, but the talks failed to achieve any breakthrough as Musharraf declined to leave aside the Kashmir issue.

The Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime also witnessed an attack on Indian Parliament on 13 December 2001, when Pakistan-supported terrorists stormed the Parliament building in Delhi. They were ultimately foiled in their attempts by the Indian security forces.

Vajpayee as PM was pained when communal riots broke out in Gujarat in 2002 after the Godhra train tragedy.

Retirement

The 2004 General Election brought about the downfall of the NDA, which lost almost half its seats and the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) assumed the reins of power. Vajpayee refused to take up the position of the Leader of the Opposition paving the way for Lal Krishna Advani’s leadership of BJP. He now lives in retirement and seclusion owing to ill health.

देश बुधवार को 72वां स्वतंत्रता दिवस मना रहा है। बतौर प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने लाल किले पर पांचवीं बार तिरंगा फहराया। इस मौके पर उन्होंने कहा कि हमने फैसले लेने का साहस किया. भारत दुनिया छठवीं सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था बना. संकल्प के साथ ही सपने पूरे होंगे. अगले साल जलियांवाला बाग हत्याकांड को 100 साल पूरे हो जाएंगे. मैं उन सभी को नमन करता हूं जिन्होंने अपने प्राणों की आहुति दी. इससे पहले वे राजघाट पहुंचे और महात्मा गांधी की समाधि पर श्रद्धांजलि दी.

मोदी स्पीच अपडेट…

– 82 मिनट के भाषण से प्रधानमंत्री ने देश को संबोधित किया.

– मैं बेसब्र हूं क्योंकि कई देश हमसे आगे निकल चुके हैं, मैं बेसब्र हूं उन देशों से अपने देश को आगे ले जाने के लिए

– जम्मू कश्मीर के लोग स्थानीय निकाय के चुनाव की मांग कर रहे थे, मुझे खुशी है कि आने वाले कुछ महीनों में उन्हें अपने अधिकार का इस्तेमाल करने का मौका मिलेगा. यहां के चुने हुए पंचायत विकास को नई रफ्तार देंगे. जल्द यहां पंचायत के चुनाव हों, उसकी दिशा में हम आगे बढ़ रहे हैं.

– हम गोली और गाली से नहीं, हम कश्मीरियों को गले लगाकर आगे बढ़ना चाहते हैं.

– माओवाद आए दिन हिंसा की वारदात को अंजाम देता है, लेकिन विकास की नई-नई योजनाओं की वजह से माओवाद 126 जिलों से कम होकर 90 जिलों तक सिमट गया है.

– आज मुझे खुशी है कि सुरक्षाबलों के प्रयास, राज्य और केंद्र सरकार के प्रयास की वजह से त्रिपुरा और मेघालय पूरी तरह से अफ्पसा से मुक्त हो गए हैं.

– मुस्लिम बहनों को विश्वास दिलाना चाहता हूं, तीन तलाक की कुरीती ने महिलाओं को काफी मुश्किल का सामना करना पड़ा है. संसद में अभी भी कुछ लोग हैं जो इस विधेयक को पास नहीं होने देना चाहता हूं, लेकिन मैं मुस्लिम महिलाओं को विश्वास दिलाता हूं कि मैं आपकी आशा अकांक्षाओं को पूरा करने की पूरी कोशिश करुंगा और इसमे कोई कमी नहीं छोड़ुुंगा.

– भारतीय सशस्त्र सेना में एसएससी के माध्यम से महिलाओं को पुरुष की तरह पारदर्शी व्यवस्था का ऐलान करता हूं. देश की महिलाएं नए व शक्तिशाली भारत के निर्माण में कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर चल रही हैं.

– हमारे लिए गर्व का दिन है, भारत की सुप्रीम कोर्ट में तीन महिला न्यायाधीश हैं. आजादी के बाद यह पहली कैबिनेट है, जिसमे सुप्रीम कोर्ट में तीन महिला जज हैं.

– आज पर्यावरण की मंजूरी भ्रष्टाचार का पहाड़ पार करने जैसा है, लेकिन हमने इसे ऑनलाइन कर दिया है. हमने भाई भतीजावाद को खत्म कर दिया है. रिश्वत लेने वालों पर कार्रवाई बहुत कठोर हो रही है. 3 लाख संदिग्ध कंपनियों पर ताला लगा दिया गया है.

– 2013 के बाद यह संख्या पौने सात करोड़ हो गई है. ये ईमानदारी का जीता जागता उदाहरण है। देश ईमानदारी की ओर चल पड़ा है. इनडायरेक्ट टैक्स, 70 साल में सिर्फ 70 लाख का आंकड़ा पहुंचा था, लेकिन जीएसटी आने के बाद पिछले एक वर्ष में यह 70 लाख का आंकड़ा 1.16 करोड़ पहुंच गया है.

– आज देश ईमानदारी का उत्सव लेकर आगे बढ़ रहा है. देश में 2013 तक डायरेक्ट टैक्स देने वालों की संख्या 4 करोड़ थी. ये पिछले 70 साल की गतिविधि का परिणाम था.

– मैं देश के ईमानदार करदाताओं से कहता हूं कि मैं आपको विश्वास दिलाता हूं, आपके कर से ये योजनाएं चलती है, जब आप खाना खाने बैठते हैं तो आपके कर देने की ईमानदार प्रक्रिया का परिणाम है, आपके खाना खाने के समय में 3 गरीबों का पेट भरता है.

– बिचौलिए राशन को बाजार से खरीदकर उसकी ब्लैकमेलिंग करते थे, जबकि सरकार बाजार से 20-25 रुपए किलो गेंहू, चावल खरीदकर उसे गरीबों में 2-3 रुपए में बेचती है. लेकिन यहां अनाज को दुकानो को बेच दिया जाता था, लेकिन हमने इसे रोका है.

– आप जानकर हैरान होंगे, जबसे हम सफाई अभियान में लगे हैं, भ्रष्टाचार को रोकने में लगे हैं, 6 करोड़ ऐसे लाभार्थी जोकि राशन कार्ड, पेंशन, एलपीजी के लाभार्थी थे वह ऐसे थे जो कभी पैदा ही नहीं हुए, उनके नाम से पैसे जा रहे थे. यह कितना कठिन काम था, इस सरकार ने इसे रोका है। भ्रष्टाचार और कालाधन को रोकने की दिशा में हमने कदम उठाए हैं. इसका परिणाम यह है कि 90 हजार करोड़ रुपए जो गलत तरीके से गलत लोगों के हाथ में चले जाते थे, वह अब देश के सामान्य नागरिकों के काम आ रहा है.

– 25 सितंबर को पंडित दीन दयाल उपाध्याय की जन्मदिन पर यह प्रधानमंत्री जन आरोग्य अभियान लॉच कर दिया जाएगा.

– आयुष्मान भारत के तहत इस देश के 10 करोड़ परिवार शामिल हैं. 10 करोड़ परिवार यानि करीब-करीब 50 करोड़ परिवार, हर परिवार को 5 लाख रुपए देने की योजना है, इसे हम देने वाले हैं.

– WHO की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक 3 लाख बच्चे स्वच्छता के कारण मरने से बचे हैं.

– हम कड़े फैसले लेने का सामर्थ्य रखते हैं, क्योंकि देशहित हमारे लिए सर्वोपरि है. जब हौसले बुलंद होते हैं, देश के लिए कुछ करने का इरादा होता है तो बेनामी संपत्ति का कानून भी लागू होता है.

– भारत की अर्थव्‍यवस्‍था बहुत तेजी से विकास कर रही है. पूर्वोत्‍तर भारत भी देश के विकास के साथ जुड़ रहा है. चार साल में नार्थ ईस्‍ट को भारत के साथ लाकर खड़ा कर दिया है.

– भारत की पहचान अब रिफॉर्म, परफॉर्म और ट्रांसफॉर्म के तौर पर है. हमने रिकॉर्ड आ​र्थिक ग्रोथ दर्ज की.

– देश के जवान के लिए कई सालों से पेंडिग वन रैंक वन पेंशन को हमने लागू किया.

– आज भारत की बात हर जगह सुनी जाती है. पूरा विश्व कहता है कि सोया हुआ हाथी जाग गया है.

– पहले विश्व के अन्य देश हमारे साथ जुड़ने से हिचकिचाते थे, कहते थे, भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था में रिस्क है लेकिन आज वही देश हमारे साथ जुड़ना चाहते हैं और उन्हें भारत में अवसर नजर आते हैं.

– आज लाल किले की प्राचीर से मैं देशवासियों को खुशखबरी सुनाना चाहता हूं. हमने सपना देखा है कि 2022 में आजादी के 75 साल पूरे होने के मौके पर या उससे पहले मां भारत की कोई संतान, चाहे बेटा हो या बेटी, वह अंतरिक्ष में जाएगा. हाथ में तिरंगा लेकर जाएगा. भारत के वैज्ञानिकों ने मंगलयान से लेकर अब तक ताकत का जो परिचय कराया है. जब हमारा यान हिंदुस्तानी लेकर जाएगा, तब अंतरिक्ष में मानव को पहुंचाने वाले विश्व के चौथे देश बन जाएंगे.

– आज भारत की हर चीज पर पूरा विश्व नजर रखता है। 2014 के बाद ये स्थिति बदली है.

– देश के छोटे व्यापारियों की वजह से, उनके दिमाग के खुलेपन की वजह से देश में जीएसटी लागू हुआ है.

– देश में आग छोटे शहरों में स्टार्टअप तेजी से बढ़ रहा है.

– देश आज रेकॉर्ड अनाज पैदा कर रहा है तो देश आज मोबाइल फैक्ट्री बनाने का काम भी कर रहा है. बाबा सहाब के बनाए गए संविधान में सबके लिए न्याय की बात की गई है. हमें ये सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि सभी को न्याय मिले और एक ऐसे भारत का निर्माण हो जिसमें तेजी से विकास हो.

– अगर शौचालय बनाने में 2013 की रफ्तार से चलते तो शायद तो कितने दशक बीत जाते. अगर हम गांव में बिजली पहुंचाने की बात करें, तो 2013 के आधार के आधार पर सोचें, तो एक दो दशक और लग जाते. 2013 को सोचें तो एलपीजी कनेक्शन… अगर 2013 की रफ्तार से ऑप्टिकल फाइबर लगाने का काम करते तो गांवों में पहुंचाने में पीढ़ियां निकल जातीं.

– आजादी का ये पर्व हम तब मना रहे हैं, जब उत्तराखंड, मणिपुर, तेलंगाना, आंध्रप्रदेश हमारी की बेटियों ने सात समुंदर पार किया और देश वापस लौट आईं. हमारे दूरसुदूर जंगलों में रहने वाले बच्चों ने एवरेस्ट पर झंडा फहराकर तिरंगे की शान बढ़ा दी.

The ambitious healthcare policy promises to cover over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) providing coverage up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation.

Benefits of the scheme are portable across the country and a beneficiary covered under the scheme will be allowed to take cashless benefits from any public/private empanelled hospitals across the country.

The scheme is entitlement based, with the entitlement decided on the basis of deprivation criteria in the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) database. The beneficiaries can avail the facilities in both public as well as empanelled private healthcare centres.

‘एक देश-एक चुनाव’ भाजपा घबरा गयी: गहलोत

अशोक गहलोत ने कहा कि प्रधानमंत्री पूरी तरह से घबराए हुए हैं, अगर संविधान संशोधन कर वह एकसाथ चुनाव करवाना चाहते हैं तो करवाए, कांग्रेस पूरी तरह से तैयार है

बीजेपी अध्यक्ष अमित शाह की ओर से लॉ कमीशन के समक्ष देश में लोकसभा और विधानसभाओं के चुनाव एकसाथ कराने की पैरवी किए जाने पर कांग्रेस ने मंगलवार को प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को चुनौती दी कि अगर वह ऐसा चाहते हैं तो लोकसभा को समयपूर्व भंग करें और फिर आगामी विधानसभा चुनावों के साथ लोकसभा चुनाव भी कराएं.

लॉ कमीशन को लिखे शाह के पत्र को ‘नाटक’ करार देते हुए कांग्रेस के संगठन महासचिव अशोक गहलोत ने संवाददाताओं से कहा, ‘शाह का पत्र कुछ नहीं, बल्कि राजनीतिक फ़ायदा हासिल करने का स्टंट है. बीजेपी हार के डर से यह नाटक कर रही है.’ गहलोत ने चुनौती देते हुए कहा, ‘बीजेपी और प्रधानमंत्री चाहें तो राजस्थान, मध्य प्रदेश और छत्तीसगढ़ समेत जिन राज्यों में विधानसभा चुनाव होना है उनके साथ लोकसभा चुनाव करवाएं. इसके लिए लोकसभा को समयपूर्व भंग किया जाए.’

उन्होंने आरोप लगाया, ‘प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी पूरी तरह से घबराए हुए हैं. अगर संविधान संशोधन कर वह एकसाथ चुनाव करवाना चाहते हैं तो करवाए, कांग्रेस पूरी तरह से तैयार है.’

कांग्रेस के विधि प्रकोष्ठ के प्रमुख विवेक तन्खा ने कहा कि अगर सरकार मध्य प्रदेश, राजस्थान और छत्तीसगढ़ के विधानसभा चुनाव को टालने का प्रयास करती है तो कांग्रेस सुप्रीम कोर्ट का रुख करेगी.

बीजेपी अध्यक्ष शाह ने लॉ कमीशन के प्रमुख को पत्र लिख कर कहा है कि ‘एक देश-एक चुनाव’ से खर्चों पर लगाम लगाने और देश के संघीय स्वरूप को मजबूत बनाने में सहायता मिलेगी.

EC ने कानून ओर संविधान का हवाला दे कर एक साथ दोनों चुनावों में अपनी असमर्थता जताई

मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त ओ पी रावत ने एक साथ चुनाव नहीं करवाने के लिए वीवीपैट मशीनों की कमी का हवाला दिया. साथ ही कहा कि इस फैसले को काफी मजबूती से इसे लागू करना होगा

देश में लोकसभा और विधानसभा के चुनाव अभी एक साथ नहीं कराए जाएंगे। मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त ओ पी रावत ने कहा कि एक साथ चुनाव कराने के लिए कानूनी और संवैधानिक बदलाव करने जरुरी हैं. उन्होंने कहा कि इसके लिए जनप्रतिनिधि कानून को बदलना होगा. इन बदलावों के बाद ही देश में एक साथ चुनाव संभव हैं.

उन्होंने एक साथ चुनाव नहीं करवाने के लिए पर्याप्त संख्या में वीवीपैट मशीनों की कमी का भी हवाला दिया. उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि इस फैसले (एक साथ चुनाव करवाने) को काफी मजबूती से इसे लागू करना होगा.

सोमवार को सूत्रों के हवाले से यह खबर आई थी कि केंद्र सरकार अगले साल होने वाले आम चुनाव के साथ-साथ देश के 11 राज्यों में भी विधानसभा चुनाव करवा सकती है.

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी लंबे समय से लोकसभा और विधानसभा चुनाव एक साथ कराने की बात पर जोर देते रहे हैं. उनके मुताबिक इससे न सिर्फ ऊर्जा और समय की बचत होगी बल्कि देश हमेशा रहने वाले चुनावी मूड से भी बाहर निकलेगा.

बस यूँ ही पूछ लिया,

भाई, साहब को यह तो नहीं लग रहा की मोदी राज़ के दिन गए?

EC, बहाने भी बनाता है नहीं मालूम था।
