Title: Bihar Politics Heats Up After Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur is Awarded Bharat Ratna
Introduction:
The recent awarding of the Bharat Ratna to Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur has sparked a political debate in Bihar. The leaders of RJD and JDU claim that they have been demanding this honor for Thakur for a long time. Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav even took to social media to request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to confer the Bharat Ratna on Thakur. This has led to a heated discussion among political parties in Bihar, with BJP leader Giriraj Singh criticizing the Mahagathbandhan government over the issue.
Giriraj Singh’s Criticism:
Giriraj Singh, a prominent BJP leader, criticized the Mahagathbandhan government for not conferring the Bharat Ratna on Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur. He questioned why Thakur, who represented social harmony, was not honored while leaders like Laloo Prasad and Nitish Kumar were. Singh also highlighted how the Congress has failed to honor leaders outside the Gandhi family, such as Sardar Patel and Baba Saheb Ambedkar. He praised PM Modi for his commitment to national pride and giving recognition to Thakur, who symbolizes the marginalized sections of society.
BJP’s Respect for Thakur:
Giriraj Singh emphasized that the Bharat Ratna conferred on Karpoori Thakur is not just a recognition for him, but also for the entire state of Bihar and the marginalized communities. Singh mentioned how Thakur and Kailashpati Mishra formulated the reservation formula in 1977, which was later abolished by Laloo Yadav. He pointed out that while the Congress failed to honor Thakur, the BJP has shown respect for him. Singh highlighted the difference in the Congress’ and PM Modi’s standards of evaluation, with the latter prioritizing the recognition of great personalities.
Short:
The awarding of the Bharat Ratna to Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur has ignited a political debate in Bihar. While RJD and JDU leaders have long demanded this honor for Thakur, BJP leader Giriraj Singh criticized the Mahagathbandhan government for not conferring the Bharat Ratna on him.
