Ex-Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur to get Bharat Ratna posthumously

Thakur, who passed away in 1988, was the first non-Congress socialist leader who became chief minister twice -first for seven months in December 1970 and later for two years in 1977.

"The President has been pleased to award Bharat Ratna to Shri Karpoori Thakur (posthumously)," the communique said.

Thakur, known affectionately as 'Jan Nayak' (people's leader), is the 49th recipient of the country's highest civilian award. The award was last conferred on late president Pranab Mukherjee in 2019.
