Told why had entered politics
During an interview on India TV, he told that he wanted to become a journalist, but after the death of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, he decided to step into politics because he wanted to fulfill his unfulfilled dream.

The stream of my poetry has dried up in the desert of politics: Atal Bihari Vajpayee
During the interview, Rajat Sharma, Editor-in-Chief and Chairman of India TV, asked him that there is a huge contradiction in your character that on one hand, being a poet, you write poems and talk about feelings. On the other hand walk the hard way.
In response, Atal had said, “I do not consider it a contradiction. I started writing poetry since childhood. I wanted to become a journalist. I also edited papers, but when Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee passed away while under house arrest in a government hospital in Srinagar, I decided to jump into politics to complete his unfinished business. The stream of my poetry has dried up in the desert of politics. Sometimes I try to write poetry again, but the fact is that my poet has left and I have become a complete political leader.
He was asked if he wanted to call the poet back. To this he replied, “I want to return to that world, but the situation is the same that one wants to leave the blanket, but does not leave the blanket. I cannot leave politics at this time, but politics is not the first thing on my mind. What is happening in politics gives me great pain in my heart. But leaving at this time would be considered as an escape and I do not want to be guilty of an escape. If duty calls, I will fight and struggle.
