Vajpayee’s visionary leadership saw the country’s development reach unprecedented heights, he said in a tweet.

“His efforts for making a strong and prosperous India will be remembered forever,” Modi said.

Born in 1924, Vajpayee was a founder member of the Jana Sangh and then the BJP, a party which rose from the margins to rule India for the first time in 1990s with him being its main face.

His tenure is credited with ushering in a fresh wave of liberalisation, boosting growth and infrastructure.
