  • BJP's Gaurav Bhatia criticized Congress for not honouring former PM PV Narasimha Rao, countering Priyanka Gandhi's remarks on cremation arrangements for Manmohan Singh. Bhatia accused Congress of disrespecting Rao by not allowing his funeral in New Delhi and demanded explanations regarding homage to former PMs.

The article discusses BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia's criticism of the Congress party for not giving former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao a state funeral upon his death in 2004. Bhatia highlighted this during a press conference, pointing out that Rao, who was instrumental in initiating economic reforms in India, was not honored appropriately by the Congress, despite his significant contributions. He contrasted this with the Bharat Ratna award given to Rao by the current government, suggesting a lack of recognition from his own party. Bhatia's comments were part of a broader critique of the Congress party's treatment of its leaders, especially those from marginalized communities, and their historical revisionism.
