He also chickened out after 2002. Could have gotten rid of Modi right then but he didn't. I think Arun Shourie has talked about this. He had plans to replace him as the Gujarat CM but something happened and he decided not to. I think in the meeting he sensed that he had lost control over the party with majority of the top leadership happy with the direction they were taking.

Yup, Vajpayee wanted to fire muudi, but Advani(HM) threatened with resignation if he fired him. Similarly, jaitley and other fundamentalists said it was fine with the new approach taken by BJP.
It was then he realised that things are no more in his hands.
Explained articulately in "Pradhanmantri" TV series.

If you have followed Sudhendra Kulkarni, he gives insights into Vajpayee's nature. I think the would have followed restraint as he was a staunch proponent of "Ram Rajya".
How his power hungry ministers and radicalists would have behaved, thereby influencing Vajpayee's behaviour would be another story.
On another note, Vajpayee wanted to resign when he was sidelined on the post-godhra-muudi-future meeting. Jaswant Singh convinced him to continue.
I don't remember if this was in mainstream media but Vajpayee was rooting for BJP's defeat in 2004, according to his sister.
