Aurangabad, May 15:
“I feel Swatantryaveer VD Savarkar is above Bharat Ratna. As a descendant of Savarkar, I will not demand Bharat Ratna for him. However, this is the demand of the people. If the government wants, Savarkar will get Bharat Ratna sooner or later, said Savarkar's grandson Satyaki Savarkar.
