Vajpayee was born into a Hindu Brahmin family on 25 December 1924 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Vajpayee's oratorial skills won him the reputation of being the most eloquent defender of Jana Sangh's policies.

Remembering Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth anniversary, PM Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter, “आदरणीय अटल जी को उनकी जयंती पर कोटि-कोटि नमन। Remembering Atal Ji on his Jayanti. We are inspired by his rich service to the nation. He devoted his life towards making India strong and developed. His development initiatives positively impacted millions of Indians.”



Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid tribute and wrote, “During the tenure of his Prime Minister, Atalji laid the foundation of a strong India by taking many visionary decisions and at the same time showed the vision of good governance in the country. Every year the Modi government celebrates 'Good Governance Day' with great enthusiasm by remembering the contributions of Atalji. Happy Good Governance Day to all."
                   
Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister wrote, “I bow to Atalji on his Jayanti. He was a great nationalist who distinguished himself as an eminent orator, wonderful poet, able administrator and a remarkable reformist. Atalji’s tremendous contribution to India’s public life will never be forgotten. अटलजी को सादर नमन!”
