Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid homage to former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao on his birth anniversary, acknowledging his leadership and wisdom. PM Modi expressed pride in the government’s decision to confer the Bharat Ratna on Rao earlier this year, recognizing his significant contributions to the nation.
PV Narasimha Rao: A Legacy of Leadership
Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao, born on June 28, 1921, served as the 9th Prime Minister of India from 1991 to 1996. Notably, he was the first person from South India and the second from a non-Hindi-speaking background to hold this office. Rao is acclaimed for initiating major economic reforms during the 1991 crisis by appointing Manmohan Singh as Finance Minister, a move that helped rescue India from bankruptcy.
Economic Reforms and Political Acumen
Rao’s tenure is marked by liberal economic reforms that set the foundation for India’s economic transformation. His government’s policies were continued by future Prime Ministers Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh, showcasing the enduring impact of his leadership. Known as the “Chanakya” of Indian politics, Rao skillfully navigated legislation through a challenging political landscape, leading a minority government.
Controversies and Achievements
Despite facing controversies, particularly related to the Babri Masjid demolition and his strained relationship with the Nehru-Gandhi family, Rao’s legacy has been reassessed more favorably over time. His achievements include managing the 1991 economic crisis, establishing diplomatic ties with Israel, launching the Look East policy, revitalizing India’s nuclear program, and addressing terrorism in Punjab and Kashmir.
Bharat Ratna Award
In 2024, PV Narasimha Rao was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honor, recognizing his pivotal role in shaping modern India. This accolade underscores the significant strides he made in both domestic and foreign policy, securing his place as one of India’s most impactful Prime Ministers.
