Manmohan Singh ‘most consequential PM’: Sonia Gandhi says his prophecy on Narendra Modi is coming true
Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson's remarks come days after Supreme Court gave the late ex-PM Manmohan Singh a clean chit in coal block allocation case.
Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has praised Manmohan Singh as the "most consequential" Prime Minister India has ever had, following the Supreme Court's recent clean chit in the coal block allocation case. She referred to Singh's prophetic prediction from 2014, that having Narendra Modi as PM would be "disastrous for the country," now seeming more evident.
Gandhi criticized Modi's recent "forgiving" stance towards students who attacked him, saying it may be an opportunity for him to forgive Singh for his slander. The Congress leader noted that the lobby against Singh, involving various actors, has come to a "nothingness." She highlighted Singh's integrity and accountability, contrasting it with the Modi government's misuse of agencies like the ED and CBI.
Gandhi also emphasized Singh's economic reforms, social justice initiatives, and transparency efforts, while criticizing the current government for attacking Singh's legacy and undermining institutions like the RTI.
