Atal Bihari Vajpayee has a Special affiliation with Puttaparthi Sathya Sai Baba | CVR News (in Telugu), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASBhJh054UQ, 1 min 27 secs.
This video clip with the presenter speaking in Telugu, shows a message in English sent by former PM Vajpayee to Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust for a souvenir. Former PM Vajpayee conveys how overjoyed he was when Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on a visit to Delhi in April 2010, visited the residence of Vajpayeeji. Vajpayeeji also writes about the wonderful work done by Bhagavan for uplift of mankind.
Given below is a screenshot from the video showing part of Vajpayeeji's message:

Some pics of Vajpayeeji with Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba are given below.

Speech by PM-Sri Atal Behari Vajpayee 19th Jan 2001-Hospital Inauguration, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4nXbOjZ0VQ, 12 min 49 secs, published by Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield.
Given below are two screenshots from the video.
Vajpayeeji speaks very well in this speech (most of it is in English). I plan to later look for a transcript of this speech on the Internet and if it is not there, then as a small contribution from me in chronicling the intersection between Sathya Sai Avatar and Prime Minister Vajpayee, I will do it myself. The last part of his speech is in Hindi with delightful Hindi alliteration of the hospital having 'dava' (medicine) and 'dua' (divine grace).
