Sonia Gandhi Response to Bharat Ratna Announcements: “I Welcome Them, Why Not?

The Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, was asked what she thought of the announcement of Bharat Ratna to former prime ministers Narasimha Rao, Chaudhary Charan Singh, and scientist MS Swaminathan. She replied, “I welcome them.” “Why not?” Using three distinct posts, PM Modi announced the news on his X account while honoring the contributions of the three icons. Lal Krishna Advani and Karpoori Thakur are the newest additions to the list; thus far this year, five people have been granted the Bharat Ratna. Reactions began to stream in.

“Our government is fortunate that Chaudhary Charan Singh, the nation’s previous prime minister, is receiving the Bharat Ratna award. This honor is devoted to his unparalleled service to the nation,” Prime Minister Modi stated in an announcement to Charan Singh about Bharat Ratna.PM Modi wrote of Narasimha Rao, “Narasimha Rao Garu’s tenure as Prime Minister was marked by significant measures that opened India to global markets, fostering a new era of economic development.”

“Dr. MS Swaminathan Ji has received the Bharat Ratna from the Government of India, which is very glad to recognize his remarkable contributions to farmer welfare and agriculture in our nation. In difficult times, he was crucial in assisting India to become self-sufficient in its agricultural sector and made exceptional contributions to modernizing Indian agriculture, PM Modi wrote on MS Swaminathan.

Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, stated that MS Swaminathan, PV Narasimha Rao, and Chaudhary Charan Singh are considered the gems (ratna) of India and that every Indian appreciates their contributions. However, the Modi administration has said nothing about granting the MSP legal legitimacy using Swaminathan’s calculation. PM Modi’s intransigence caused 700 farmers to die in the course of their movement. Farmers are prepared to march to Delhi even today, according to Jairam Ramesh.

Party officials would provide an official response to the Bharat Ratna announcements, according to Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh. “I don’t want to say anything, but is politics the driving force behind Bharat Ratna to Narasimha Rao? The late Narasimha Rao and the Gandhi family were very different from one another. “Is Modi attempting to capitalize on that?” said the Trinamool chief.
