Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to release a book titled 'Atal Bihari Vajpayee'  in Parliament on Friday considered as a commemorative volume on the former Prime Minister on his 96th birth anniversary. To mark the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, his birthday celebrated as Good Governance Day, Prime Minister Modi will pay floral tributes and also release the book published by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. 

On this occasion, as per the formal practice, a floral tribute is being organised at Vajpayee's portrait, which was unveiled on February 12 last year in the Central Hall of Parliament. The book highlights the life and works of Vajpayee and contains notable speeches that were delivered by him in Parliament. It also contains some rare photographs from the BJP leader's public life. Vajpayee, who was elected 10 times to the Lok Sabha and twice to the Rajya Sabha, was a parliamentarian par excellence, who had the trust, affection and belief of the people in his leadership. 

As a parliamentarian and particularly as Prime Minister, Vajpayee made innumerable important contributions which paved the way for a stronger economy through bold reforms and rapid development of infrastructure that gave India the Golden Quadrilateral,  a mega project connecting the country through world-class express highways. Born on December 25, 1924 in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior, Vajpayee took his last breath during treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on August 16, 2018.
