Is BJP's Bharat Ratna pitch more political than ideological?

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in its poll Manifesto for Maharashtra Assembly polls, has demanded Bharat Ratna for VD Savarkar, Jyoti Rao Phule and Savitribai Phule, the Congress has launched a scathing attack on the BJP's pitch.

Addressing a press conference, Congress leader Manish Tewari said, "Savarkar had to face criminal trial for the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. Kapoor Commission also investigated the charges. In a recent article it was claimed that the Commission had indicted Sarvarkar. God save this country."

Is Veer Savarkar too polarising a figure for Bharat Ratna? Watch To The Point.
