Vajpayee needs no introduction. Loved by all, a brilliant orator and the period between December 13, 1924 and August 16, 2018 will be known as the Vajpayee era.

This was followed by the passing away of Manohar Parrikar, on March 17, 2019. Parrikar one of the most beloved chief ministers of Goa became defence minister in the Narendra Modi government in 2014.

The other shocking news was the death of Sushma Swaraj. A mother, a sister, she was the external affairs minister in Modi Sarkar-2. She refused to take any assignment or contest the elections in 2019 owing to her health condition. A few hours after tweeting that her wishes had come true on Article 370, he passed away.

On August 24, 2019, the BJP lost yet another important leader-Arun Jaitley. Born on December 28, 1952, Jaitley passed away after a prolonged illness.
