Gwalior Streets Will Always Miss Vajpayee Who Used To Go There To Meet Friends On Bicycle

Long before Atal Bihari Vajpayee became Prime Minister, he used to visit the homes of his childhood friends riding a bicycle, much to the surprise of many here in Madhya Pradesh, his niece Kanti Mishra said.

Kanti Mishra said Vajpayee, who died today at the age of 93, was humble in his conduct despite becoming a towering personality in the Indian politics.

“Years ago, Atalji used to take my son Nitin Mishra’s cycle and often visited his childhood friend Deepak, a Kashmiri, to far off Murar area,” Kanti Mishra told PTI.
