BHARAT RATNA: ADVANI GETS A DESERVED ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Sunday Guardian
|February 04, 2024
The Prime Minister and L.K. Advani have a special relationship.
L.K. Advani is finally getting the recognition he richly deserves—not so much from the people of India, but also more importantly, from his own party. What is also significant is the timing of the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to confer the Bharat Ratna on the party patriarch, coming as it does on the heels of Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratistha ceremony at the new Ram Janmabhoomi temple. The temple could not have happened without L.K. Advani’s rathyatra in the 1980s, which galvanised the entire temple movement. And also spurred the party electorally, taking it from 2 to 84 seats in the 1989 Lok Sabha elections.
