Bharat Ratna to Chaudhary Charan Singh is honour to India's 90 crore farmers: UP minister

Hindustan Times  

Singh, who was posthumously conferred with India's highest civilian award on February 9, championed for farmers' causes. "Conferring Bharat Ratna to Chaudhary Charan is an honour to the 90 crore farmers of India," he added. Elaborating on the steps taken by the Bharat Ratna recipient for the welfare of the country's farmers, the UP cabinet minister said Singh brought a number of pro-farmer legislations such as the Consolidation of Holdings Act of 1953 and the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari and Land Reforms Act, 1952. The 72-year-old Uttar Pradesh minister also said that his "struggle for the farmers was inspired by Chaudhary Charan Singh ji" as he called the former prime minister a "fearless leader" and recollected that he was strict in dealing with the 'Patwari strike crisis' in 1953.. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 9 announced that former prime ministers P V Narasimha Rao and Chaudhary Charan Singh as well as agriculture scientist M S Swaminathan will be honoured with the Bharat Ratna.
