Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee was, perhaps, one of the most important political leaders of India. He was the 10th Prime Minister of India; first serving a term for just 13 days before resigning in 1996, then for period of 11 months between 1998 and 1999, and finally for full term in 1999 up until 2004. He is the only non-Congress Prime Minister to have served a full term in office.

Vajpayee’s tenure in politics began before India got its independence. By 1942, he had become an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). While participating in the ‘Quit India Movement’, he was arrested along with his brother, Prem, for 24 days. He joined the Bharatiya Jan Sangh in 1951, and became its national president in 1968.

During the Indira Gandhi government’s emergency of 1975, Vajpayee was arrested along with several opposition leaders. However, during the Jan Sangh’s victory in the 1977 general elections, he became the Minister of External Affairs in Prime Minister Morarji Desai‘s cabinet. He became the first person, as foreign minister, to deliver a speech to he United Nations General Assembly in Hindi.

However, in 1979, Morarji Desai resigned as Prime Minister leading to the dissolution of the Janata Sangh. Vajpayee, along with many of his colleagues from the Bharatiya Jan Sangh and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh came together to form the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 1980. He was the party’s first president, and emerged as a strong critic of the Congress (R) government that followed the Janata Sangh.
