Bharat Ratna To Narendra Modi

In a major decision Congress-led UPA government today decided to give Bharat Ratna to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi for giving tough fight to Congress party in upcoming parliamentary election. The Congress party in a statement said that Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is highly impressed with Narendra Modi and she welcomes his presence at national level. It is believed that before finalising the name of Gujarat chief minister for Bharat Ratna to Gujarat chief minister, the Congress consulted with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who is said to be great fan of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav also supported the move of the central government, saying that it was precondition of RJD for pre-poll alliance with Congress. Former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav reportedly had made it clear to Congress president Sonia Gandhi that pre-poll Alliance was only possible with congress when Bharat Ratna would be given to Gujrat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Lalu believes that this is necessary to keep the communal forces at bay in forthcoming parliamentary election. On the other hand, JDU slammed RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for trying to take credit and said that Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar had first time raised the issue with prime minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi. Bihar chief minister had also called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi at her residence and had demanded that Bharat Ratna should be given to Modi. In the mean time Bhartiya Janta Party held a meeting on this issue and criticised the central government's move to give Bharat Ratna to Narendra Modi saying that the Congress is giving Bharat Ratna to tarnish the image of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. The party also said that the Congress would not succeed in its ill motives. BJP 100-time expressed its full confidence in Gujrat chief minister and reiterated that Gujrat chief minister is and will be PM candidate for the party. Veteran BJP leader L K Advani supporting candidature of Narendra Modi for PM post said that the real face of Congress Party has been exposed before the people with its decision to give Bharat Ratna to Gujarat Strong man Narendra Modi.
