This honour is dedicated to his incomparable contribution to the country. He had dedicated his entire life to the rights and welfare of farmers.”

“Be it the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh or the Home Minister of the country and even as an MLA, he always gave impetus to nation-building. He also stood firm against the Emergency. His dedication to our farmer brothers and sisters and his commitment to democracy during the Emergency is inspiring to the entire nation,” he added.

Expressing his sentiments, he shared on social media in his another tweet, “I am delighted to announce that the Bharat Ratna will be conferred upon our former Prime Minister, Shri PV Narasimha Rao Garu.

As a distinguished scholar and statesman, Narasimha Rao Garu made extensive contributions to India in various capacities. His noteworthy service includes roles as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Union Minister, and a Member of Parliament and Legislative Assembly for several years. Recognized for his visionary leadership, he played a pivotal role in steering India towards economic advancement, establishing a robust foundation for the nation’s prosperity and growth.

Narasimha Rao Garu’s term as Prime Minister was characterized by significant initiatives that facilitated India’s integration into global markets, ushering in a new era of economic development. Additionally, his impact extended to India’s foreign policy, language, and education sectors, highlighting his diverse legacy as a leader who not only navigated India through crucial transformations but also enriched its cultural and intellectual heritage.”

Former PM P. V. Narsimha Rao, who was the father of economic reforms, who liberalized the economy and mentored the economic reforms. It was his sagacious leadership which saw the move through. Credit must also go to his excellent relations with Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee in success of the move. Another aspect of his tenure as PM is that he provided able leadership to the country when world changed from the then bipolar to a unipolar world, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was a difficult phase in the life of the nation but Shri Narsimha Rao ably led the nation in that difficult phase.

He played a pivotal role in helping India achieve self-reliance in agriculture during challenging times and made outstanding efforts towards modernizing Indian agriculture. We also recognise his invaluable work as an innovator and mentor and encouraging learning and research among several students.”
