Vajpayee Achievement
1. Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana - Largest Rural connectivity program since independence
2. National Highway Development Project (NHDP) - Golden Quadrilateral.. largest physical connectivity program since independence
3. Reforms in Telecom and IT - Today India is IT superpower
4. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan - Best program in my opinion. Just compare literacy rate in india before and after 10 yrs of this program.
5. Pokhran
6. Elections in J&K
People of india did a biggest mistake for not electing him in 2004.
Rawat ji,
You accept or not?... But I remind and Inform you that, the biggest reason behind loss the election in 2004 is Gujrat riots, without any doubt...there was no mazer deference between BJP and congress in 2004. Congress won 145 and BJP 138......
i don't know, i heard bjp lost due to onion and petrol price... if it is true... i dont have words to react on it
@@karthika560 thanks for the insight.. but ppl should have voted for atalji even RSS didnt campaign or any other issue, keeping in mind the big picture...
Pokharan, kargil, education policy, and many more achievements.. not atalji, indians lost 2004 election.
@@karthika560 if people voted for bjp despite gujrat riot, then something is really wrong with indians.
atalji was not a politician but a statesman, not feared but respected by the rivals as some would say about him "Right man in the wrong party"
@@karthika560 advani persuaded atalji to be lenient on riot matter and also on modi .Back then, advani was herding all the hooligans activities of RSS from rath yatra to barbri demolition to riot.
1984 was not RAJIV WAVE , it was symphaty wave for Indira Gandhi.
Ghulams will forever be ghulams, can't help them bro
Exactly
Rajiv Gandhi was well loved by entire country, you may think what you want
HIMANSHU KUMAR But now you yourself have become gulam of Modi and Shah
@Amey Deshpande gulam toh gulam hi hota hain..tum uske ho woh uske 😂😂
The last bit was really thought provoking. India has never started a war against Pakistan because occupation was never an aim. Vajpayee knew the legacy and decides to preserve it by threatening war to push pakistan into diplomacy.
Narshima rao & vajpayee ❤❤
Narasimha Rao was a great PM. It's a shame that dynasty politicians have forgotten him
No Doubt
They even disregarded him even after his death. Hope you know that story
Yesss exactly his reforms are the reason why our economy is at this stage
India gets what it deserves. We don't like people who work. We only celebrate slogans, rhetoric and third ratedness. Both Rao and Vajpayee who worked lost the elections.
I can keep listening for hours about our beloved leader..."Atal jee"
"War when you must...But no glorification on it"
-Tolstoy
Atal ji was a true statesman!
I don't think we would ever get a leader like him😭
Humility is mark of a great leader! What a strategist. Even Pakistanis loved him❤️
@8:50 - If only Americans could understand this logic. Lots of love and respect to PM Vajpayee . And thank you Mr. Shekhar for sharing these moments to us
We never heard such flattering pieces on Vajpayee when he was in power. It was not an anti wave like Manmohan Singh had. But we were fed this image that he was indecisive, weak and suffering from old age ailments.
It is the job of the media to question those in power. It's just like if you ask anyone today most will praise manmohan singh's economic policies but at that time the media was totally against him.
Oh my god! Shekhar's hair style has remained the same for years ;)
Hairstyle nhi bhai, ganjapan kehte hai usko.
@@blackbeast1996 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this. The last bit was really thought provoking - "what would you name the war?". If Americans had such a leader then they would not have gotten into the mess called Iraq.
That's the difference between BJP and Congress ..BJP needs strong young leader but congress always needs a new family member for it's revival ...Curse modi or hate him but u must admit he has worked tirelessly for this post and he truly deserves it 🚩🚩🚩🚩
A gandhi is always needed for party workers to stay together
@@MonisKhanIM No buddy who are underestimating the skills of other Congress worker..I would have voted for Congress if ppl like Sachin Pilot or jyotiraditya or Shashi tharoor like ppl would have been the party president instead of raga
I don't understand how can you be so brainwashed, even after seeing the video. Narendra Modi is a complete contrast to how Atal Bihari Vajpayee was. We don't need such evil people like Narendra Modi.
@@karanveerrathore7326 i am talking about congress party workers and members
A gandhi is a glue for congress party
You can check history
Before sonia gandhi congress wasn't doing that good
Great to know the great man in an entirely new light ... Very well crafted piece ...👍
Shekaharji ,
This is amazing of you to describe this instead of penning it down and knowing the little details !
Atalji , what a personality. An original human being
Manmohan Singh would have been great had he batted in his own style But unfortnately he was a captain but a twelfth man in the team
Economically though he was one of if not the best but pv Narsimha Rao ji and vajpayee ji will still be better than him
Thank you for sharing this, there was no way for young people like us to know of such details.
Great collection of stories. Would love to many more of different leaders as well.
Love these videos . Keep making them !
Great man......kudos to you also sir Shekhar Gupta.
Thanks a lot Shekar ji. Waiting for some more interesting incidents of great leaders☺
Great video. Ty for it.
It's amazing how you journalists never gave Bajpai this much honour when he was in power but now deliberately you all are tring to compare him with Modi and show how great he was... the truth is Bajpai is great and Modi also is great..... they are both Desh Bhakt.. For both of them India First abd everything else second unless most of the other political parties and leaders
Excellent.... fantastic...both you Sekharji and Vajpayee ji..i love mr Vajpayee.. thank you.
Your videos help me a lot in improving my English.
I am curious about the books kept behind... Like to know and read some of them. If I can see the names. 😇
Thanks for recollecting the issue relating to purchase of Sukhoi 30 which you published in your weekly column National Interest. I misplaced this particular article which mentioned advance payment to Russia before the MOU ,was signed. Dr. Singh was the FM. I wished you had narrated the complete issue with Atal ji's comments following the probe - "this was in National Interest".
He's very sweet❤
Love & Respect from Kolkata 👍
In most times there are small incidents in life which can teach you big lessons. This clip can be watched multiple times for theory of “THE NAME OF WAR” or just “ The OBJECT of war”. Also, the preparation should be such that everyone has to believe IT IS HAPPENING including the one who has to decide. Very interesting wisdom!!
I must admit cut the clutter is the best unbaised show available on youtube.
eye opener!!
First time something neutral you have spoken. But it felt nice seriously
Such a great storyteller you are SG sir. ❤
Shekharji great story and meaningful too. Thanks
😍👌🏽...wow...
Really it is a good personality development session for me...
Nice video shekhar sir.
How did Mr. Shekhar Gupta managed to keep his hair he had 26 years back?
Huge fan
PVN and ABV we really are lucky to get them one after the other.
Wow! I wish we had more leaders like Vajpayee ji.
Again Shekhar ji just start a new show already with just you talking about your experiences.. These are so interesting 😊
My favourite politician 🙏
My All time Favourite Leader
अटल थे
अटल है
अटल रहेंगे ..💐💐
Wonderful stories ❤️
He didn't say anything to you because he knew you would interrupt him in between, like you always did in Walk the talk.
0:31 what's that Gorbachev book right there?
We miss him in time like these.
Great legend who was clear and straight with his words... the best politician of century… second father of nation after Mahatma Gandhi… as of now in today’s politics your guidance we are missing it.
He was as hated as Modi when he was PM
No not at all...
@Rohit Patil they are different.its vajeepiee who is a great person
Kindly never compare atalji to modi..atalji was a multiple talented person...he was a great man...and the whole nation was with him during the odd times after pokhran test...during that time india was still under growth and clinton administration treat our nation like north korea that time...atalji took our nation safely from crisis after crisis along with his personal crisis regarding alliance issues..,atalji's handling of kargil and parliament attacks are our country's best days...he had a vision and undying love for our nation...now ashamed to see the working of present BJP...modi lacks vision,administration and mainly patience when dealing with any issues of our nation.
Rohit Patil vajapayee is no even 1% of PV I would say Modi is one f the best much taller than Vajapayee
true
People used to call him Bhishma for a reason. The greatest prime minister the country has seen. He had a vision for India unlike some people (I don't want to call them leaders) in Congress who are there just to loot the country and won't even care if the country goes down the drain. He was one of the few leaders who gave respect to everyone and the same respect was given back to him. He was a true soul and the most kind hearted leader I have seen. He had such a cute smile. May he rest in peace. Hope we get more leaders like him.
Wonderful video
First time in my life I agree with him..
He used you as a sounding board and you were thrilled with it....It is evident 😀
Your life is Full of excitement
Words of wisdom
Rajneta aise hi RATIONAL hona chahiye
Think... ABV was a person of thought... War of Anger... such great insights into ABV!
Atal ji was a great man. Lot of respect for him
Gupta thanks
Brilliant
Now these days this video is relevant
Towering figure of our nation's politics.
Subscribed
wow!
Can anyone tell me the names of some of the books visible in Couptaji's video.
Lol coupta ji 🤣🤣🤣🤣 on point
Atal Bihari really was a great intellectual. Pakistan and India had great opportunity to broker peace during his government. Love from Pakistan.
Nehru, Bajpai were personalities that were keen to please those around them & the interests of the country came much later. Modi has shown that the country comes first and individuals around you don't matter. This is what irks the Lutyens guys including Shekhar Gupta that their egos are not polished by Modi like Nehru, Bajpai & others. Lutyens crowd is so self centred that they can't see beyond their bloated egos.
@Mohammed Nawaz Nawaz bhai education is no guarantee of being sensible. Look at your response itself, which proves what i said. Thanks anyway for your response.
To give Modi a place admirers need to vilify all other leaders who were great patiots.
I completely agree.... Modiji doesn't mince words to simply please someone.
♥️♥️♥️
I like how people now say that Vajpayee ji was the best prime minister and all, but when he was in the government people were not this much in support of him.
Sekhar Gupta is a dubious character .I did not not find any such comment during the life time of Vajpayee.
Wonderful leader
Do us a story on the Nagarwala case -- what happened to the officer who investigated matter etc
8:06 thank you for saying it as "Bangladeshi independence war" not like other Indian who call it "third India Pakistan war"
Such politicians are rate indeed....
❤️
This is why he was one of the best PM this country ever had...war was never his cup of tea...he wanted to avoid it as much as possible...cut to present...now we have someone in power..who is always after pakistan and wants to start a war.
I think there's one visionary india absolutely needed as the prime minister but didn't get. He was Ramakrishna Hegde
In 2004 election , India was lost
Vajpayeeji was great person
Shekhar sir please send a translated copy of this to Donald Trump. Might help him
Sir u know the obvious
BJP is made of these type of people, other hand we have a papu and chamchooka fouz
BJP had such people at that time, not now.
@@yashagrawal88 Still they have better people than any other party. Atal ji has been called names and kicked out even though his party was largest. we tend to forget the things. What I observed from 1991 to date is Political discourse dips to lowest point when congress is not in power. BJP stood behind congress as a rock after Mumbai attacks, what congress done ?? questioned the strikes. even though BJP got full majority congress never allowed parliament to function at the cost of Indian ex-checker, if you can lift the screen of hatred from your eyes you can see the picture clearly. don't think I am supporting BJP. but can't find any alternative.
@@AK-yw9qs Questioning the strikes on Pakistan was necessary, and is democratic.
This 'no alternative' argument is misleading. If there is no alternative visible, they will come over time. There are a lot of capable people in politics.
Under this BJP government our institutions and democracy are in danger, along with the livelihood of poor people and the environment.
@@yashagrawal88 this is your view not the public. It is not right to listen from a guy about democracy when he has no respect for it. Don't hid under the democracy blanket. When you are not in power stalling the function of parliament is a democracy.? that is not democracy that is called anarchy, what stopped you getting enough votes other than decimation in 2014?. Originally you are talking the Pakistani language not Indian. As per revealing the authenticity, defense or govt are not obliged. What matters is the intent to send the message and it the message has gone very well to Pakistan and to world community. this is what we want.
@@AK-yw9qs This above is not just my view, it is a view of a large part of the public. There is no single public view.
Defence forces are not obliged to reveal the facts, but the government is also not supposed to spread wrong facts, and especially to take credit for the work done by the military.
תענוג אמיתי
Who cares
The recipe to win a war is to be prepared always, and if there is an opportunity and a reason, and if you have an upper hand, press the advantage and meet your objectives. I am not a general or a politician, but there was an opportunity and reason during Kargil war, Parliament attacks, and Mumbai attacks to say the least. But India lacked preparedness. I don't know why India stopped short in 1971.
#Pranamam
SuperLike
Aral bihari Vajpayee is and was brilliant planner.
Imran Khan mentioned the same thing as the vajpayee jee said... Let the rationality prevail..
Grassroot statesman.nehru onwards kangress paaty leaders are just viceroys. Divide and rule is their motto.divided Andhra.divided lingayat and maratha.
2000 soldiers died during OP Parakram without even firing a round.
Same with China now. The fact that Chinese deployed so much army itself shows they are taking the threat seriously.
Ok nice
Contrast with congress opportunism on rafale.
It seems Shekhar Gupta has written a speech of Imran Khan...
Hahaha
I do not understand how do you come to that conclusion. Shekhar ends by calling Atal a great human being. For resisting war when the whole country is wanting to go to war is the mark of a great leader and a great human being. A war between nuclear India and nuclear Pakistan means possible annihlation of the Indian subcontinent, and much more. The present leaders of India and Pakistan would do well to catch some of that ABP greatness.
Not comfortable with BJP, now a days, but not denying I am a big fan of Atalji and APJ, surely love both of them very selfless leaders
With your blessing, then a young leader ,is now a Prime Minister…😬😁
He was a great leader but wished he took the right steps after the Gujrat riot that would have done great for his image . Mr Gupta can you please explain why he did not take the steps we expected from him during and after Gujrat riots stating follow raj dharma is simply not enough then why did this great statesmen did that ?
Ya right ... You didn't even let him complete his term... Today you praise him but back then you tortured him
