Prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Monday registered his grief over the death of senior Congress leader Madhavrao Scindia by equating it with the falling of lightning.

Vajpayee spent around 15 minutes at the residence and was seen consoling the family members.
He was accompanied by daughter Namita.
