Manmohan Singh’s association with Assam began with tenure as finance minister

Hindustan Times  

When Manmohan Singh was inducted into Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao’s government for a consequential tenure as the Union finance minister in 1991, it also marked the beginning of his three-decade association with Assam. Rao got Singh, who passed away at 92 in New Delhi on Thursday, elected as a Rajya Sabha member from the northeastern state at the suggestion of the then chief minister Hiteswar Saikia. Singh retained the set, which was part of the house of Hiteswar Saikia’s wife Hemoprova Saikia, until 2019 when the former prime minister contested his last Rajya Sabha election from Rajasthan. “Singh used to pay rent for the two rooms until 2019 when he got elected to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan.” He added Singh recollected memories of those years as a tenant in their house and his association with Assam and his father when he met the former prime minister in New Delhi last year to inquire about his health.
