I refer to the reports of various politicians recommending their persons for the award. In fact in my frank opinion no poltician is worth for this award, especially as their job is service, sacrifice and patriotism and most of them have failed in this respect. Besides most of them are involved in conflicts, conspiracies to gain power and amassed wealth. Bharat Ratna must be awarded to those who made the country proud in economic prosperity by making country earn reputation for technolgy, wealth and employment and who came from humble beginging. In this respect NR Narayan Murthy, Reliance persons, Tata, Premji and others and not for those of cricket or politicians.
