That is why he lasted for ten years.”Neerja Chowdhury Journalist-author In an obvious reference to Singh’s prophetic words, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said on Thursday, “Undoubtedly, history shall judge you kindly, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji!.” Kharge also hailed Singh as “a visionary statesman, a leader of unimpeachable integrity, and an economist of unparalleled stature.” Singh had not been well for quite some time, and after his retirement from the Rajya Sabha in April this year, had not been attending public events. It will remember him as the finance minister, who launched India’s economic reforms in 1991, and the Prime Minister, who presided over 8.5% GDP growth for most of a decade.” ‘Mentor and guide’ Condoling Singh’s death, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “.rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives.” Rahul Gandhi said he lost a “mentor and guide” and recalled the “immense wisdom and integrity” with which Singh led India.
