Vajpayee is second best or 3rd bet priminister. 1st best is Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao, who with out even simple majority successfully ruled 5 yrs in the midst of huge problems like Hawala,Babri,sukhram-telephone scam, Harshad_stock market, Arms droping in West Bengal, what not... His leadership is stupendous, he hardly spoke to press, but worked for reforms and when 3 times Dr.Manmohan singh resigned(then finance minister), P.V consistently persuaded him and made things progress, most of todays young India vow to P.V for his libaralisation of Economy, and safely manuvored the Economy to a stable state from a disaster like USSR(Still RUssia strgules to cope with).
