Governor Bandaru Dattatreya today paid tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his third death anniversary, calling him a true nationalist, patriot and ideal statesman.

Dattatreya said, “Vajpayee was the ‘Ajatashatru’ (a man with no enemies) of the Indian politics, who as the country’s first non-Congress Prime Minister not only successfully ran the government with the cooperation of 23 other parties, but also provided a strong leadership to the country.”

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar attended the prayer meeting organised at the memorial “Sadaiv Atal” at Raj Ghat in New Delhi and paid tribute at the memorial of the former Prime Minister.
