Everyone knows Lal Krishna Advani. He took out Ram Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya. Advani was called the Iron Man of BJP. He was the Deputy PM and Home Minister in the government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. If the dream of Ram temple in Ayodhya has come true, then the main reason for it was Lal Krishna Advani’s Rath Yatra. It was only after this Rath Yatra that BJP included the construction of Ram Temple in its agenda. In the year 2015, Lal Krishna Advani was awarded the Padma Vibhushan.
Apart from LK Advani, this year the Modi government had also announced to give Bharat Ratna to former PM Narasimha Rao, former Bihar CM Karpuri Thakur, former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh and famous agricultural scientist MS Swaminathan. Apart from Lal Krishna Advani, all other 4 personalities have been awarded Bharat Ratna posthumously. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a close friend of Lal Krishna Advani and former PM of India, was also honored with the Bharat Ratna award by the Modi government. Modi government has also given Bharat Ratna to many other personalities.
