Three-time elected Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee dies at the age of 93.

“Atal Ji’s passing away is a personal and irreplaceable loss for me,” Modi said in a tweet Thursday, using a Hindi-language honorific.

“It was Atal Ji’s exemplary leadership that set the foundations for a strong, prosperous and inclusive India in the 21st century.”

It was due to the perseverance and struggles of Atal Ji that the BJP was built brick by brick. He travelled across the length and breadth of India to spread the BJP’s message, which led to the BJP becoming a strong force in our national polity and in several states.

Vajpayee’s health was declining with each passing day but got worse in the recent days. The former PM was being treated  at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, where he was admitted nine weeks ago with health complications.

“Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated over the last 36 hours and he was put on life support systems. Despite the best efforts, we have lost him today,” AIIMS said in a statement.

Vajpayee who was also a former journalist and poet, was known when he helped lay the foundation for the meteoric rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the right-wing political powerhouse that rules India today.

Condolences poured in soon after the news of the sad demise broke. Celebrities and common people paid tribute to the legendary South Asian leader in their own way.

Indeed a big loss for our country as we pay our last tribute to #AtalBihariVajpayee ji. He was a close family friend and his legacy will forever be remembered. Thank you for your selfless service, sir! My heartfelt condolence to everyone.

Ask any Kashmiri which Prime Minister they liked best and the reply will invariably be #AtalBihariVajpayee He reminded Modi that he should have upheld “Raj Dharam” – over Gujarat riots. He attempted to resolve the Kashmir issue. He spoke a language of humanity. RIP Atal Ji!

Decency, dignity and decorum were the words one associated with him. These are rare human attributes. The poet in him often overwhelmed the politician. RIP, Sir! #AtalBihariVajpayee
