History will indeed remember Manmohan Singh kindly as most consequential PM: Sonia Gandhi
July 29, 2026, was an important but unacknowledged day in our political history as the Supreme Court upheld CBI's clean chit to Dr. Manmohan Singh in the alleged coal block allocation scam, said Sonia Gandhi
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was granted a clean chit by the Supreme Court in the coal block allocation case, according to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. In her article published in The Indian Express, Gandhi highlighted Singh's record of integrity and accountability as contrasting sharply with the way the current Narendra Modi government operates.
Gandhi argued that Singh's tenure brought about profound economic change, with India becoming a middle-income country and millions being lifted out of poverty. She praised Singh for delivering on constitutional promises, such as the Right to Education and OBC reservation in higher education institutions. The Supreme Court's judgment upheld the CBI's clean chit for Singh, while also criticizing the trial court for rejecting the CBI's closure reports.
Gandhi emphasized that Singh's record stands in stark contrast to the Modi government's misuse of investigative agencies and lack of accountability. She also criticized Modi for attacking Singh's character and shifting the public narrative away from Singh's outstanding governance record.
