This proposal for Bharat Ratna should have been made by eminent public, rather than a party colleague, good old friend, howsoever deserving may be the case.

Irrespective of whether any government gives such an award to Vajpayee, his contribution to India's development will for ever be remembered. He was the first one to speak in Hindi in the UN. He made sincere efforts to bring peace in the region. The National Highway Corridor Project was a signal contribution from his government.
