Its sad to share the news that Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee died on treatment in AIIMS on Thursday evening. He was 93 years old. AIIMS issued a statement in the evening and said, "Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee breathed his last on August 16, 2018 at 05.05 PM. His health became very bad in the last 36 hours, . We tried our best but today they could not be saved". Vajpayee was admitted to AIIMS on 11 June 2018 due to urine and kidney related problems. Vajpayee's only kidney function was suffering from diabetes.
His health had declined sharply since Wednesday. Earlier, AIIMS had issued a medical bulletin and had said that the health of the former Prime Minister has worsened. Thereafter, in the second medical bulletin, there was no improvement in his health.
On Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached AIIMS to know about his helth movements. BJP President Amit Shah also visited AIIMS twice to see him and to know his health conditions. Apart from this, many Central ministers, including BJP's senior leader Lal Krishna Advani, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, reached AIIMS. Leaders of several opposition parties, including Congress President Rahul Gandhi, reached AIIMS on Thursday to get information about the health of the former Prime Minister Vajpayee. Earlier, Atal's relatives were also called in AIIMS.
Among the founders of BJP, Vajpayee was elected as PM three times between 1996 and 1999. He became the first prime minister in 1996 and his government could last only for 13 days. He became the Prime Minister for the second time in 1998 then his government lasted 13 months. Vajpayee became the Prime Minister for the third time in 1999 and completed the term of 5 years. He was the first non-Congress prime minister to complete the 5-year term.
He was elected 10 times for Lok Sabha and 2 times for Rajya Sabha. His birthday is celebrated on December 25 as 'Good Governance Day' in India. The popularity of Atal Bihari Vajpayee was that he was not the opposition leader in party but he was listened and respected his point of view.
Retired from politics in 2005
Vajpayee, who always charmed people with his poems and speeches, was away from public life due to poor health. He had taken returement from active politics in 2005 and since then he was at his house. Atal Bihari Vajpayee had trouble speaking and writing for many years. He was unable to recognize anyone.
He was suffering from dementia
Former prime minister Vajpayee had also suffered from diseases such as dementia for a long time. Dementia is not the name of a particular disease, but it is called symptoms when a person's memory becomes weak and he can not do his daily work properly.People with dementia also have symptoms like short-term memory loss. There is also a change in the mood of the person suffering from dementia. They quickly become upset or mostly they seem to be sad or unhappy.
He was a great Prime Minister of India and wonderful pet and human being. Central government has declared 7 days mourning throughout the country after the sad demise of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Thank you.
