Atal Bihari Vajpayee was “a stalwart loved and respected across all sections of society,” PM Modi said at the function attended by the top BJP leaders and ministers including party president Amit Shah, veteran LK Advani, Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.<\/p>\n

The PM also remarked that Vajpayee sat in opposition and didn’t stop raising his voice for the people. “Today political scenario is such that if one has to stay out of power for two-five years, one gets restless,” he said.<\/p>\n

The 100-rupee coin with the image of the former prime minister has his name inscribed in Hindi and English. The coin weighs 35 grams and has the years 1924 and 2018 inscribed to mark the years of Vajpayee’s birth and death.<\/p>\n
