Three-term prime minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was a politician who believed in building consensus across parties to carry forward his policies. During his tenure, apart from initiatives on foreign policy, significant economic reforms and infrastructure development took place. The golden quadrilateral of developing national highways, linking the length and breadth of the country, was his idea. Vajpayee was a statesman and he will be sorely missed.
