Narsimha Rao

He was indeed best PM after Jawahar and  Indira. 

Political class trying to usurp legacy of Narsimha Rao was the one which went viciously after him from 1993 onwards. 

Do dig into real happenings and stop learning history from sources like whatsapp which manufacture it rather than record it as what happened. That period was not so ancient that one can't look into archive of newspapers or search authentic sources now to educate oneself. 

He indeed was great PM because he worked taking all along and took best of the talent for advisers even adversaries. If one were present during those days, post schooling, (means had grown up to know what was going on, and is not still left naively low wit juvenile ), do recall to understand which political class was blatantly after  Narasimha Rao, dragging him to courts on dozen of false made up cases and pulling him for such humiliation  like that from Harshad Mehta’s flimsy allegations, or importing unknown gravely old  men from US to file idiotic cases against him, making him appear such a politically untouchable person in lates nineties that even Congress was pushed to back-foot and  attempted to avoid him lest that causes it any further political damage to already out of office weak party. With political posturing and amplification  Rao was made pariah to that extend that even Congress was left itself distancing from him. 

Narrative from those who were in reality working relentlessly against Rao when he was in power to project him like a political untouchable, imported aged obscure businessmen from US with stupid allegations to drag him to courts and celebrated his near arrest. They openly supported a thug stock broker crook who claimed carrying 500 kg cash in hands to bribe a PM walking a km past toughest security. They asked for Rao’s ouster repeatedly and publicly. 

Even after leaving  office he was made to visit courts for years. He was treated like a culprit during a decade he was out of power and that time govt was not of Congress. 

Those vicious forces smartly changed the narrative on Narsimha Rao later and Congress fell for these tricks and acted stupid. 

Those who are now claiming rescuing his image and his contributions and his legacy had brought his downfall and dishonoured his achievements. After two decades he is darling of same political class.  What a farce.
