Atal Bihari Vajpayee Was A Decisive Leader Who Was Acceptable To All: RSS

The RSS today paid tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee saying he was a decisive leader who was acceptable to all.

"With his ideas and conduct, he established the Indian cultural values in his public life. He was an intense, decisive leader who was acceptable to all," the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS said in a statement issued jointly by its chief Mohan Bhagwat and  general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi.

The vacuum created by the demise of such a tall leader will not be easy to fill, the Sangh said.

Mr Vajpayee died at AIIMS in Delhi following prolonged illness. He was 93.

The BJP veteran was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences here on June 11.
