Atal Bihari Vajpayee passes away: Ex-PM's funeral procession was a tribute to how he had built BJP

Firstpost  

The march by Modi and the rest of BJP leadership behind the carriage carrying Vajpayee’s body was symbolic of the long march Vajpayee had in his life time. The pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president Amit Shah, some chief ministers of BJP-ruled states, important Cabinet ministers at the Centre, party MPs and senior leaders, along with thousands of supporters and common citizens, walking behind the ceremonial Indian army carriage carrying the body of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, from BJP’s headquarters to Smriti Sthal, were historic. The long march by Modi and the rest of BJP leadership behind the carriage carrying Vajpayee’s body was perhaps symbolic of the long march Vajpayee had in his life time – from the time he became an MP in 1957 till he breathed his last on Thursday evening. At party headquarters, a huge cut out of Vajpayee with a line from his poem “Lautkar aayonga, kuch se kyon daroon " conveyed the message required: the former prime minister was obviously not going to return in physical form but his soul, his legacy would always be alive there as founder-builder of the party, which is now the ruling party in India.
