“मौत की उमर क्या है? दो पल भी नहीं,
ज़िन्दगी सिलसिला, आज कल की नहीं
मैं जी भर जिया, मैं मन से मरूं,
लौटकर आऊँगा, कूच से क्यों डरूं?” #अटल_बिहारी_बाजपेयी #AtalBihariVaajpayee pic.twitter.com/eTkzyAJRy8 — Randeep Hooda (@RandeepHooda) 16 August 2018

इतिहास में ऐसा व्यक्तित्व जिसने आलोचकों का भी सम्मान जीता, विरोधियों ने भी जिनसे ख़ूब सीख ली। सच्चा राजनीतिज्ञ, दार्शनिक, चिन्तक, विचारक । विस्मय भारत के उद्धारक। राजनीति से परे सब जानते हैं। ऐसे व्यक्ति कभी नहीं मरते। अटल थे.. अटल हैं.. अटल रहेंगे । pic.twitter.com/WA7WsInSn3 — Kailash Kher (@Kailashkher) 16 August 2018

Atalji was a man of words but today no word would describe the loss India suffers in his death. He wasn't a politician... he was a thought, a vision... mortal humans perish but a thought always remains alive and grows in d minds and hearts of millions.#RIPAtalBihariVaajpayee ji pic.twitter.com/5bHIes8Ag2 — Ashoke Pandit (@ashokepandit) 16 August 2018
