My heart goes with Sri Vajpayee who rightly deserves conferment of "Bharath Rathna for his outstanding qualities of leadership and winning the respect of all his political opponents too.As is correctly said,he was the first prime minister to have continued for the entire term of primeministership in a coalition government in a country like India where every parliamentarian poses to be a self styled leader forgetting their political affiliations some times.Soft spoken and receptive,with all his poetic speeches and talks he could win the love and affection of all whom he came across.Guarded with every polite word that he uttered either from a public platform or in a private talk,he never slipped his tongue while criticising even his worst political opponents too like Sri P.V. Narsimha Rao.Like several of big leaders of BJP, he never lost his composure and talked any ill of other political parties.Though all most all the prominent BJP leaders made Hindutva as polical plank and slogan,he never fiddled with such cheap tactics.He solidly stood behind the country's leadership during the hours of crisis as Indo Pak war of 1971 regardless of his political affinity and affiliation.He is a person endeared by all Indians irrespective their religions and a fit person for the highest civilian Award of Bharatha Rathna Felicitating him this way,is as good as honouring the entire nation.I pray God and wish Vajpayee a hundred years of age.May the Almighty shower HIS kindness on him

I think the most deserving person for the Bharath Rathna award is The late prime minider Sri P.V.Narasimha Rao. When Our country was in the deepest financial crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy,he was solely responcible to pull the country out of the murk.

Late Narsimha Rao and Vajpaye are just similar in attitude and approach,they could win the respect of their opponents also despite their choosing two different political parties to serve the country..Both proved as the best politicians who never resorted to cheap tactics and offence to others.For the country's economic boom which is nothing but the offshoot of the economic reforms Rao introduced,nation owes him eternally.More than once,I expressed that he should have been awarded Bhatha Rathna atleast posthumously ,since he was politically implicated in several cases with a view to be marginalised and belittled for the reasons best known to the unscrupulous people of his own party.Leave alone Bharatha award,he was not even treated with due honour even after his death as ex-prime minister of the country.Will the nation excuse the wrong doers?It is said that death levels,yet it ennobles every one.In case of Narsimha,however,his political opponents ignored him even after his death forgetting what all good he did for the nation. Will our beloved Prime Minister Manmohanji who was the Finance Minister in Rao's cabinet and the chief architect of the economic reforms, at least,be kind enough to consider doing some thing commemorative for Narsimha Rao AND to start with conferring Bharatha Rathna to the late Prime Minister?Better late than never!!Narsimha Rao's name needs to be written with golden letters in the annals of Indian history.
