Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared the big news on the Highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna. He announced that the veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader would be conferred with the highest award and expressed his happiness on the occasion.

Lal Krishna Advani, the co-founder of the BJP was selected for the highest civilian award. The same has been communicated with the senior leader by Narendra Modi and extended his congratulations.

LK Advani had an inspirational journey in politics. He started as a legislator and even served as the Cabinet Minister. The veteran BJP leader is a former Deputy Prime Minister. In the 90s, he was the face of the BJP and put in his best efforts to make the party strong.

Weeks after the occasion LK Advani, whose Rath Yatra paved the way for changing the status quo of the situation in Ayodhya is picked. In the 1990s, the Ram Mandir movement was at its peak. The Rath Yatra he conducted added fuel to the fire and we all knew what had happened post the Rath Yatra.
