“Our nation will always be grateful to Atal Ji for being the architect of India’s transition into the 21st century. When he took oath as PM in 1998 our nation had passed through a period of political instability reminded PM Modi.
Today is Vajpayees birthday In about 9 years, we had seen 4 Lok Sabha elections. The people of India were getting impatient and also sceptical about governments
being able to deliver. It was Atal Ji who turned this tide byproviding stable and effective governance.
Coming from humble roots, he realised the struggles of the common citizen and the transformative power of effective governance,” the Prime Minister wrote.
Prime Minister Modi said the Vajpayee era marked a gigantic leap for the Information Technology, telecom and communications sectors. “This was particularly important for a nation like ours, which is also blessed with a very dynamic Yuva Shakti.
The NDA Government under Atal Ji made the first serious attempt to make technology accessible to the common citizens. At the same time, there was foresight in connecting India.
