Union Minister Giriraj Singh expresses gratitude to the Central Government on behalf of the poor and socially backward people for awarding the Bharat Ratna to former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur. Singh highlights the difference between the BJP and Congress governments, stating that while the latter ignored Thakur, the current government acknowledged his contributions. Congress leader Tariq Anwar also welcomes the decision and acknowledges Thakur’s significant role in advancing social justice. Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey expresses joy and appreciation for the historic decision, emphasizing Karpoori Thakur’s dedication to uplift the underprivileged. Described as a Jan Nayak or People’s Leader, Thakur’s simplicity and monumental contribution to Indian politics make him deserving of the prestigious award. Born on January 24, 1924, Thakur dedicated his political career to fighting social discrimination and inequality and providing representation and opportunities to marginalized sections of society. He served as Chief Minister of Bihar and made alliances with different political parties throughout his tenure.
