Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the BJP leader at AIIMS. He enquired about the well-being of Vajpayee and met his family members. BJP president Amit Shah, senior party veteran LK Advani, Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and JP Nadda and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi were among others who paid a visit to the former PM.

Vajpayee was thrice elected the PM between 1996 and 1999 and is the only non-Congress prime minister to complete the full term of five years, from 1999 to 2004. As his health deteriorated, he had slowly withdrawn himself from public life and was confined to his residence for years.
