Former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh and veteran Congress leader late P.V. Narasimha Rao will be honored with the Bharat Ratna. In addition to them, M.S. Swaminathan, hailed as the father of the Green Revolution, will also receive this honor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared this information on social media on Friday. PM Modi wrote, “As a respected scholar and politician, P.V. Narasimha Rao served India on a large scale in various capacities. He said he is happy to announce that our former Prime Minister, P.V. Narasimha Rao Garu, will be honored with the Bharat Ratna. As a respected scholar and politician, Narasimha Rao Garu served India on a large scale in various capacities. He is also remembered for his contributions to the country for the work he has done. As Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, as a Union Minister, and as a member of Parliament and the Legislative Assembly for many years. His visionary leadership was instrumental in laying a solid foundation for India’s economic advancement, contributing to the prosperity and development of the country. As Prime Minister, Narasimha Rao Garu’s tenure was marked by significant initiatives that opened up India to global markets, ushering in a new era of economic development. In addition, his contribution in the fields of foreign policy, language, and education underscores his multifaceted legacy as a leader who not only propelled India forward through significant reforms but also enriched its cultural and intellectual heritage.” Similarly, former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh will also be honored with the country’s highest civilian honor, Bharat Ratna. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement on social media on Friday. PM Modi said that this honor is dedicated to the unparalleled contribution of the former Prime Minister to the country. He wrote, “It is our government’s privilege that former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh is being honored with the Bharat Ratna. This honor is dedicated to his unparalleled contribution to the country. He devoted his entire life to the rights and welfare of the country.” Whether as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh or as Home Minister of the country, even as a legislator, he always accelerated nation-building. He stood firmly against the Emergency as well. His dedication to our farmer brothers and sisters and his commitment to democracy during the Emergency are inspiring for the entire country. The Prime Minister further announced that agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan and former PM P.V. Narasimha Rao will also be honored with the Bharat Ratna. This is an example of the Modi government’s commitment to the agricultural sector, as highlighted by the selection of two of the three awardees, Chaudhary Charan Singh and M.S. Swaminathan, who have made significant contributions to the agricultural sector. Two of the awardees, Narasimha Rao and Chaudhary Charan Singh, come from non-BJP backgrounds, which demonstrates Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to recognizing national excellence in a very non-partisan manner. Narasimha Rao and M.S. Swaminathan hail from South India, which shows that the Prime Minister values contributions and expertise from all corners of the country. In the meantime, Chaudhary Charan Singh’s grandson and RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary welcomed the announcement with a brief post on Twitter.
