The Bharatiya Janata Party and its adherents may mock Jawaharlal Nehru and Nehruvism at every opportunity, but Atal Bihari Vajpayee has never hidden his admiration for the man who first highlighted his parliamentary skills way back in the 1950s. When Goel asked who his favourite leader was, Vajpayee named India's first prime minister.
He also admired Indira Gandhi, comparing her to Durga in Parliament in a famous speech to commemorate India's victory in the December 1971 war.
