Bharat Ratna: BJP hopes to gain electorally with choice of awardees

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: By picking three ideological and political opponents, former Prime Ministers Narasimha Rao and Chaudhary Charan Singh, former Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur, in addition to party patriarch LK Advani and father of the green revolution MS Swaminathan for the country’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, the Bharatiya Janata Party has offered an olive branch to social groups where it lacks a foothold and above all embarrassed the Congress by embracing leaders who fell out of favour with the Gandhi family. Former prime ministers Narasimha Rao and Chaudhary Charan Singh and the pioneer of India’s Green Revolution MS Swaminathanwere conferred the Bharat Ratna award on Friday. The conspicuous pursuit of voters in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana apart, the message in picking Rao, a polyglot who could recite Sanskrit shlokas and was conversant with the Vedas and Upanishads “is obvious” said a senior party functionary. He would later praise Rao for showing a desire to construct a Bhavya Mandir and government acquiring land adjacent to the disputed site,” the first functionary said.
