New Delhi, Dec 24 (IBNS): Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Nitish Kumar on Wednesday said that former Prime Minister and veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee should have been bestowed with the Bharat Ratna during the Congress-led United Progress Alliance (UPA) regime itself.

“I strongly support Bharat Ratna for Vajpayee jee. His personality and good lessons I learnt under him in the NDA ministry will always have an imprint on me,” Kumar said.

The government on Wednesday announced the names of Vajpayee and freedom fighter Madan Mohan Malaviya for the Bharat Ratna - India's highest civilian award.
