काँग्रेस पक्षाच्या रणनीतीमुळे अटलबिहारी वाजपेयी निवडणुकीत पराभूत झाले. मात्र या पराभवाचा अटलबिहारी वाजपेयी आणि पंतप्रधान राजीव गांधी यांच्या वैयक्तिक आयुष्यात कोणताही परिणाम झाला नाही. लोकसभा निवडणुकीनंतर वाजपेयी किडनीशी संबंधित आजाराने त्रस्त झाले.
त्यावर भारतात उपचार होणे शक्य नव्हते. डाॅक्टरांनी अमेरिकेत जाऊन उपचार घेण्याचा सल्ला दिला होता.त्यावेळी वाजपेयी यांची आर्थिक स्थिती चांगली नसल्याने ते अमेरिकेला जाऊ शकत नव्हते.कसे तरी पंतप्रधान राजीव गांधी यांनी याविषयी माहिती मिळाली.
त्यांनी एके दिवसी वाजपेयी यांनी भेटण्यास पंतप्रधान कार्यालयात येण्याचे निमंत्रण दिले. वाजपेयी गेले.त्यांना राजीवजी म्हणाले,तुमच्या नेतृत्वाखाली भारताचे प्रतिनिधीमंडळ संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघात पाठवले जाईल.तुमच्या अनुभवाचा फायदा सरकार घेऊ इच्छित आहे.अशा प्रकारे वाजपेयी हे अमेरिकेत गेले.

#RememberingRajivGandhi:

There seems to be a "whitewashing" of history, when it comes to the so called "fairest" of Indian Prime Ministers - Rajiv Gandhi. So while we are remembering him today let us also learn some facts.
•1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Rajiv's party presided over the biggest pogrom in India's history - 8000 Sikhs were murdered right around the national capital as a vengeance for the assassination of his mother - Indira Gandhi. This is 10x the size of 2002 riots.
• Bhopal Gas Tragedy: 'Govt, Union Carbide struck secret deal post leak': He was the Prime Minister when Bhopal Gas tragedy (world's worst industrial disaster) struck. He had the chief of Union Carbide in India. But, Rajiv traded the life of 17k people and let him go.

It is birth anniversary of the original #RaGa. #RajivGandhi was born on 20th August. I am inspired to write this after looking at Congress relaunching Rahul in Rajiv mood with a new wig and new set of artificial dentures.
#Part1 Image
Rajiv wasn't just original RaGa. He was the original Pappu too. What Rahul is doing today for the BJP, Rajiv began that process in 1985. He laid the foundation stone for the phenomenal growth of #BJP from two seats to 330 plus.
#Part2
The trinity of Father, son and Holy Ghost; RaGa, RaGa and #SoGa have practically handed BJP over to India and India over to BJP.

With #ShahBano, #Ayodhya, #IPKF and #Bofors, Rajiv was the Haley's in Blunderland.

One of the biggest success stories of the Indian Education System - the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas.

The idea of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas was conceived by former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi as part of National Policy of Education 1986.
The concept of opening a JNV in every district of India with an aim of providing excellence coupled with social justice.

As per the policy of the government, one JNV was to be established in each district of the country. There are nearly 600 operational JNVs.
JNV is a unique experiment unparalleled in the annals of school education in India and elsewhere.

Its significance lies in the selection of talented rural children and to provide them with quality FREE education comparable to the best in a coed residential school system.
