Condoling the demise of the former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on Thursday, Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan described him as a great visionary, a statesman par excellence, a great orator, a poet and, above all, a great human being.
He stated that Mr. Vajpayee would be remembered as an astute leader, who upheld the democratic traditions and values.
“In his passing away, the nation has lost a great leader, administrator, and a wonderful human being,” Mr. Narasimhan observed.
