Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has not made a public appearance for over two years due to age-related health problems. But there is a distinct possibility that he could break that jinx Feb 16 during the marriage of his grandniece in Delhi.

Family sources say the octogenarinan Bharatiya Janata Party leader is looking forward to the event and might attend the function. One of the reasons for keeping Delhi as a venue for the wedding is believed to be the possibility that Vajpayee may attend it. The bride’s father is Vajpayee’s nephew and Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Anoop Mishra.
