The article highlighting the contributions of Mr. Venkataraman was
heartening. His role in ensuring a smooth transition from the era of
congress hegemony to that of intertwined coalitions can never be
forgotten. His denial of Mr. Vajpayees offer to lead a national
government after the fall of VP Singh government-a proposal too
lucrative for any person earlier involved in active politics and
having served in the capacity of a cabinet minister a number of times
to deny- in order to not set a bad precedent for the forthcoming
presidents shows the pristine nature of his commitment to the cause of
the nation. Mr. R. Venkataraman will always be remembered as a
political stalwart who served the to cause of the nation in every
possible way right from as a member of the constituent assembly which
drafted the constitution-the bedrock of our democracy- to his
magnificent work as the deputy chairman of the planning commission and
defense and finance minister. His sincere efforts will continue to
inspire millions in the coming generations. His death is a great loss
to the country which in today's time is struggling for model
politicians.
