    I don’t much about other 3 candidate deserving the ultimate national award ‘Bharat Ratna’. I know and the country knows and recognizes Narasimha Rao’s contribution but what about Advani and what is his contribution???.?…..He was the root cause of all communalism, descendant of Nathuram Ram culture, architect of demolition of Babri masjid, creator of chaos, law and order situation within 3 days of his visit to any state. A Pakistani by birth is a symbol of terrorism against india. There was no development, growth and progress of the country during his rule and no rule of law. If any other party was ruling he wouldn’t have got this award disgracing the award for wrong reason and undeserving person. So if this is BJP govt policy then Osama Bin Laden too should be honoured with this award posthumously.
