Remembering Manmohan Singh
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh passed away at 92 on Thursday night due to age-related complications, according to AIIMS New Delhi. Singh served as India’s Prime Minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014. Known as the architect of India’s 1991 New Economic Policy, his contributions as an economist and leader are widely respected.
Manmohan Singh’s leadership began with Congress’ victory in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections against Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s NDA government. After two terms, he was succeeded by Narendra Modi in 2014.
