Patel got Bharat Ratna only when a non-Gandhi was PM: BJP
Stating that the NDA government was inspired by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday said Patel got the Bharat Ratna only when a non-Gandhi was the PM. Which forces were stopping the award to be given to him, Prasad asked. Notably, Patel was conferred with the Bharat Ratna in 1991 by the Narasimha Rao government.
