A week after former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s demise, his niece and Congress leader Karuna Shukla has accused the Modi government and the Chhattisgarh BJP of politicising his death with an eye on the upcoming elections in state and Lok Sabha. #RIPVajpayee pic.twitter.com/Udh68x1gro — News18 August 23, 2018 On Tuesday, the Chhattisgarh government decided to name Naya Raipur, the upcoming capital city of the state, as ‘Atal Nagar’ in Vajpayee’s memory. Responding to Shukla’s remarks, BJP national secretary RP Singh said that Vajpayee was the leader of the entire country and his niece was reacting because “she is not getting what she is looking for”.
