New Delhi, Feb 9: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao would be conferred with the prestigious Bharat Ratna award, BJP leader NV Subhash on Friday (Feb 9) thanked the BJP Telangana for honouring the latter with the country's highest honour.
NV Subhash, Narasimha Rao's grandson, said that he feels emotional at this point because they have been expecting that the Bharat Ratna will be delayed. Blaming the UPA government for making Narasimha Rao a scapegoat for the failures of the Congress party, Subhash said;
"PM Modi has conferred PV Narasimha Rao, though he belongs to the Congress party. Now, I blame the UPA government, especially the Gandhi family, from 2004 to 2014, when the UPA government was in power in the centre, leave alone Bharat Ratna or any awards, the Gandhi family was very, very instrumental in making Narasimha Rao a scapegoat for the failures of the Congress party." - NV Subhash, Narasimha Rao's grandson
BRS MLC and daughter of PV Narasimha Rao, Surabhi Vani Devi, also expressed her happiness and termed it "great recognition." Appreciating the BJP for honouring Narasimha Rao with the country's highest honour, Surabhi said;
"This is a very happy moment. Great recognition. I am so excited. If you go through the days--5 years from 1991 to 1996--that was a very crucial time in Indian history, but he has solved the problems. It is surprising that Rao was not in BJP, from the beginning he has worked with the Congress but BJP has recognised him with Bharat Ratna. This is a great moment. We must appreciate." - Surabhi Vani Devi, Narasimha Rao's Daughter
