Following his visit to Rajghat, Modi paid tributes to stalwart BJP leader and former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at his memorial ‘Sadaiv Atal’.

Vajpayee was the first ever BJP prime minister and, along with Lal Krishna Advani, is credited for the party’s rise as a pillar of national politics.

Supporters were present in sizeable numbers as the prime minister-designate visited these monuments.

Modi also offered his respects at the National War Memorial, a monument to soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice for the country.
