Congress MP Rahul Gandhi grieved the loss of “a mentor and guide” late Thursday after confirmation of the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, 92.
In an emotional message on X, Mr Gandhi, in Karnataka’s Belagavi to attend a meeting of the Congress Working Committee, said, “Manmohan Singhji led India with immense wisdom and integrity. His humility and deep understanding of economics inspired the nation.”
“I have lost a mentor and guide. Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride,” Mr Gandhi said, “My heartfelt condolences to Mrs Kaur and the family.”
Manmohan Singh is a two-time former Prime Minister and Union Finance Minister, who is credited with leading the Indian economy through the globalisation and liberalisation process.
