Pilar of Indian Economy

How have your political views changed over time?

Dr Manmohan Singh served as the 13th Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, succeeding Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His tenure is particularly remembered for his steady leadership during economic crises and his contributions to modernizing India’s economy.

Dr Manmohan Singh as Finance Minister 1991 to 1996, who took India out of the crisis and also led the country towards economic prosperity and stability. The nation today reaps the benefits of the robust economic foundations he built.

His erudition on economic and fiscal matters comes from his vast experience as Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India and various other capacities in several organizations.

His wise counsel, leadership and contribution in mitigating the global economic financial crisis is well acknowledged. As I recall, President Obama during his tenure as President of the US mentioned Dr. Singh and remarked that
“Whenever the Indian Prime Minister speaks, the whole world listens to him”

There are two main political ideologies in India, Dr Manmohan Singh tenure of politics forced me now a days to support Indian National Congress which is the oldest political party of India their ideology is focused on Liberalism, Social democracy, Secularism V/s BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) which is aligned with right wing politics, ideology of nationalism and Hindutva.

Last goodbye solute to Dr Manmohan Singh 🙏
