When talking about the late former Prime Minister, A B Vajpayee, Pune can't be left out. The city and its individuals and politicians still remember his rousing speech and poems he delivered while addressing the audience at Sir Parashurambhau (SP) College in 1977.

Lakhs had turned up to hear him speak, and the BJP stalwart, and a dedicated RSS pracharak, during that event, had bonded with numerous organisations and people, including Baburao Kivalkar, Saraf Haribhau Nagarkar, Aba Abhyankar of the Sangh, Sridharpant Phadke, Babasaheb Purandare, Dr Arvind Lele, journalists K P P Bhavishikar and K T Kulkarni, lawyer Baba Bhide and Aarti Harip, besides activists and social workers.
