Atal Bihari Vajpayee: When the former PM took a dig at Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's pair!
Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is fighting for life these days in AIIMS and everybody is praying for him. Atal Bihari Vajpayee is not only known for being a great PM of India but also as a great spokesperson and his poetic style was surely a hit. He has taken a dig at the oppositions and sometimes actors also. There was a time in his career when he took dig at Big B also.
The incident took place in 1987 when Amitabh Bachchan came to parliament after winning the seat from Allahabad in 1984 from Congress side. But in 1987 with Bofors scam, Amitabh Bachchan name everything went against Big B. Even in the last Amitabh Bachchan had to resign after his name came into the scam.

After this resign of Big B, Atal Bihari Vajpayee said in an interview, 'he was targetted especially against his brother. He went to Switzerland after completing his all business from India, why he went there? What is he doing there? His kids are studying in abroad how their fees are being paid. These questions are being raised inside and outside parliament, not satisfactory answer has given yet. This has destroyed PM's image, maybe to save PM, Mr Amitabh Bachchan had to resign,'
Not only this when the former prime minister also took dig at Amitabh and Rekha, he said, 'Before elections, I was asked if Amitabh Bachchan fight against you then what will you do? I said I have to ask Rekha to fight against him because I can't compete with actors. It is good for making actor friends but this friendship should not affect the politics.'
