On the death anniversary of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee political leaders across party lines paid floral tributes. President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a host of other dignitaries paid tributes to the former Prime Minister on his fourth death anniversary. They were joined by several Union ministers and other leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda, at `Sadaiv Atal`, Vajpayee`s memorial in the national capital. They also attended a prayer meeting in the memory of the BJP stalwart who was crucial to the party`s rise to power in the second half of the 1990s.
