‘Modi government, which calls itself Hindutva, has again forgotten Balasaheb Thackeray’, Sanjay Raut demands Bharat Ratna

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a big announcement on Friday (February 9). He said that former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, PV Narasimha Rao and Dr. MS Swaminathan, the father of Green Revolution in the country, will be honored with Bharat Ratna (posthumously). Meanwhile, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut demanded to give Bharat Ratna to Balasaheb Thackeray also, saying that the government had forgotten him.

Sanjay Raut posted on Social Media Veer Savarkar and Balasaheb Thackeray have been completely ignored.”

‘Other leaders are also waiting’

He further said, “Three people can be awarded Bharat Ratna in a year, but PM Modi has announced to give five Bharat Ratnas. Elections are near. After Karpuri Thakur and LK Advani, Chaudhary Charan Singh, PV Narasimha Rao and Swaminathan have been awarded Bharat Ratna. Other leaders are also waiting. Why has the Prime Minister forgotten Balasaheb Thackeray? Remember, it was only because of Balasaheb that PM Modi could attend the inauguration of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.”

Along with this, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray also demanded to give Bharat Ratna to his uncle Bal Thackeray.
