In the recent debate on who should get the Bharat Ratna- one of the most prominent names that came up was Atal bihari Vajpayee. So long as Sonia Gandhi rules this country he will never be credited for anything, She will infact take all the credit - the best case being removal of his photos from Golden Quadrilateral Project hoardings (her whole family name must be used everywhere but no other name as she believes that only Gandhi family are true Indian patriots). I am at least happy that the Congress did not announce Sonia's name for Bharat Ratna by saying "She has done exemplary public service by renouncing her PM gaddi".
In contrast, Mr. Vajpayee is that one leader who has done so many things (the reason for this blog is to make people aware of it) for the country from the grass roots to highest level that he truly personifies public service. His bold decisions - Nuclear test, Pakistan peace process, Agra Summit, golden Quadrilateral Project, proposal for SAFTA, Enduring relations with China, Russia and USA, Economic reforms, and many more - each one of this can be elaborated endlessly. These decisions have not just impacted a common man, but also nation as a whole. The 5 years of Golden rule of Vajpayee as against 50 years of Congress is a sharp comparison in itself. Even after 50 years of ruling this country, congress has not done as much as Vajpayee has done in 5 years despite leading a coalition government where each party had its own agenda. Sonia Gandhi doesn't even have the status to reach this water surface of public service, forget its depth.
Who is Congress party to judge Vajpayee for all that he has done to this country? Have the Congress party people forgotten that Vajpayee rose above petty politics and congratulated Indira Gandhi for her war and nuclear test. Did anyone from the Congress rise above party politics and congratulate Vajpayee personally on making India 6th nuclear state in the world? People must know even if they have no authority to vote on this matter that Vajpayee is truly a deserving candidate. All that the Congress knows is to use Gandhi name, garner votes, and do nothing. One needs to understand that there are very few leaders who sacrificed their self interests and did service only to improve India and Indians namely Sardar Patel, Nehru (not much,although must be given credit), Indira Gandhi and Vajpayee. If all of these excluding Vajpayee have got Bharat Ratna, then Vajpayee does deserve. I don't find a leader at the national level who has done so much public service in a career spanning 5 decades. As one reads this blog and all the articles, one will realize why there is no match for Mr. Vajpayee.
Bharat Ratna is given for someone who has changed India and is truly a RATNA. Vajpayee is surely one of them.
