EK THA TIGER-Atal Bihari Vajpyaee

Well this blog has nothing to do with the movie Ek tha tiger(though i m diehard fan of salman and katrina) but is about one real life tiger India ever had named as Atal Bihari Vajpyaee,the best Prime Minister of India.
Whenever it comes to the matter of development of India two Prime Ministers will always be remembered Late.PV Narsimha Rao(for liberating Indian economy) and Atal Bihari Vajpyaee for accelarating growth rate and creating new schemes for development,which helped our economy to atain new level.Born in middle class family at Gwalior,Vajpyaee went on becoming Prime Minister of India. Being a poet and a student of literature,he edited Rashtradharma (a Hindi monthly), Panchjanya (a Hindi weekly) and the dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun.Like other full-time workers of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, Vajpayee never married and decided to dedicate his entire life for the service of the nation.Vajpyaee's political carrier began when he was first arrested in Quit India Movement but he got breakthrough in the total revolution started by Jaiprakash Narayan against Indira Gandhi.He merged Sangh with Janta Party and founded Bhartiya Janta Party with Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
One of the things which I like most about Atal Bihari Vajpyaee was his dedication to take India higher and higher.In 1998 Pokhran when underwater nuclear test became successful whole world took India by surprise.Many European countries critised this act and trade with many countries declined but it  was his strong administration that forced development and economic growth in India.
During his administration, Vajpayee introduced many important economic and infrastructural reforms domestically including, encouraging the private sector and foreign investments,reducing governmental waste,encouraging research and development and privatization of some government owned corporations.Two of his projects-National Highway Development project and Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojna totaly changed the look of many Indian roads and  villages.Other projects like Golden Quadrilateral(expressways linking Delhi,Mumbai,Kolkata and Chennai) and the North-South and the East-West Corridor provided fantastic infrastructure of New India.In late 2002 and 2003 the government pushed economic reforms, and the country's GDP growth accelerated at record levels, exceeding 6–7%. Increasing foreign investment, modernization of public and industrial infrastructure, the creation of jobs, a rising high-tech and IT industry and urban modernization and expansion improved the nation's inter-national image. Good crop harvests and strong industrial expansion also helped the economy. The Government reformed the tax system, increased the pace of reforms and pro-business initiatives, major irrigation and housing schemes and so on. The political energies of the BJP shifted to the rising urban middle-class and young people, who were positive and enthusiastic about the major economic expansion and future of the country.
It is because of his efforts India today is moving towards bright future.For his contribution in Indian politics he was reffered as Bhishma Pitamah of India Politics by Dr.Manmohan Singh.For his contribution Vajpayee is often regarded as one of the best prime minister of India till date.His speech and the ways of handeling situation with full courage I will say that he is the real life Tiger.
