Ranchi: The state Congress has demanded that former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh be awarded the Bharat Ratna. Former Member of Parliament Subodhkant Sahay stated that just as the Telangana government passed a resolution in the assembly to request the Bharat Ratna for Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Jharkhand government should also follow suit by passing a similar resolution and sending it to the Centre.
State President Keshav Mahato Kamlesh emphasized that Dr. Manmohan Singh’s role in guiding the country out of an economic crisis and onto the path of development was immensely significant. In this regard, a tribute and interfaith prayer meeting was organized at the state office on Thursday. During the gathering, party leaders observed two minutes of silence and collectively demanded that Dr. Manmohan Singh be awarded the Bharat Ratna.
Present at the event were State President Keshav Mahato Kamlesh, Subodhkant Sahay, Cabinet Minister Radhakrishna Kishore, former Minister Badal Patra, Pradeep Balmuchu, along with other state leaders and workers.
