Minutes after the former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh was declared Bharat Ratna, Jayant Chaudhary, the grandson of the farmer leader tweeted, “Dil Jeet Liya” (You have won the hearts). He also retweeted the tweet of PM Modi where he showered praise on the Jat icon and said, “He dedicated his life to the welfare of farmers... whether as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh or Home Minister of the country, and even as MLA, he always gave impetus to nation-building. He stood against the Emergency (and) his dedication to our farmer brothers and sisters is inspiring.”
