Former PM Vajpayee once won an award for best lyrics
Late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had won Screen Videocon Award for Best Non-Film Lyrics in 2000 for his album 'Nayi Disha'. The album was sung by Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh. Vajpayee, who was then serving his third term as PM, could not make it to the award ceremony in Mumbai and received the award at his residence in Delhi.
