Ye kaise hua? Atal Behari Vajpayee rap turned Ananth media shy

Once, in the late nineties when Atal Behari Vajpayeeji decided to have a speaker, only he, Advaniji and I knew it would be T.M.C. Balayogi from Andhra Pradesh. I was a novice then, and while chatting to a reporter, blurted this out. The next day, Vajpayeeji and Advaniji came to know about it and they also knew I was responsible. Vajpayeeji only asked, "Ananth yeh kaise hua". That was the last time I shared inside information with any outsider."
