New Delhi, Aug 20: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has organized an all-party prayer meeting in New Delhi today in remembrance of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who passed away on Friday after a prolonged illness. He was 93.

Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah, party patriarch LK Advani and other senior party leaders like Piyush Goyal and Bhupendra Yadav will also be in attendance.



Addressing a prayer meeting held for former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, PM Modi said that the BJP stalwart dedicated his entire life for the country and its people. Lauding his efforts as a politician, PM Modi said that Vajpayee had entered the politics at the time when only single party enjoyed the majority.
