Reviving Bihar's Glory: A Call for Bharat Ratna

Prashant Kishor, leader of the Jan Suraaj Party, has called for the Bharat Ratna to be awarded posthumously to Bihar's first chief minister, Shri Krishna Singh. Kishor, addressing a gathering in Singh's home district, cited Singh's administrative success and appealed to the influential Bhumihar community.

Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor urged the Indian government to award the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian honor, to Bihar's inaugural chief minister, the late Shri Krishna Singh.

Addressing supporters in Sheikhpura, Singh's native district, Kishor praised Singh's effective governance during his tenure that ended in 1961.

Kishor emphasized Bihar's decline over the years and pledged to restore the state to its former prominence. His appeal to the influential Bhumihar community hints at strategic political maneuvering.
