India's reforms man Manmohan Singh ends 33-year-long innings in Parliament

© PTI
New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI) Soft spoken, erudite and modest,

Manmohan Singh has exited public life with his retirement from the
Rajya Sabha - the former prime minister and architect of India's
economic reforms slipping out of politics as quietly and without
ceremony perhaps as he entered it 33 years ago.

The man who famously spoke of studying under the dim light of
kerosene lamps in his village without electricity and went on to
become a storied academic is the copybook reluctant politician,
almost stumbling into the rough and tumble of mainstream politics.
Singh, 91, hailed for putting India on the road to liberalisation in the
early 1990s and also criticised for turning a blind eye to allegations
of corruption during his 10-year tenure as PM, became a member of
the Rajya Sabha for the first time in October 1991 and was re-elected
for five more terms.
He was among the five Rajya Sabha members whose tenure ended
on Wednesday.
Singh was finance minister in the Narasimha Rao-led Congress
government and continued in his post till 1996. He went on to
become prime minister from 2004 to 2014. Sonia Gandhi declined
requests from the Congress to become prime minister and named
Singh instead, their partnership steering the country’s ship for a
decade till the BJP won in 2014.

The six-term Rajya Sabha MP, however, could never become a

member of the lower house. Singh contested only one Lok Sabha
election from the South Delhi constituency in 1999 and was defeated
by BJP's Vijay Kumar Malhotra.
His stint in the upper house was continuous, except for a two-month
gap in 2019 when he was given a Rajya Sabha berth from Rajasthan.

Singh was a Rajya Sabha member from Assam for five continuous
terms, from October 1, 1991, to June 14, 2019, and thereafter, was
again elected to the House from Rajasthan after the short gap. He
has been a member from Rajasthan since August 20, 2019, and his
term ended on April 3.
Singh was the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha from March
21, 1998, to May 21, 2004. He was also the leader of the house when
he was the prime minister between 2004 and 2014.
He has often been accused by the BJP of running a government that
was marred by corruption. The party called him "MaunMohan Singh"
alleging that he did not speak out against corrupt leaders in his
cabinet.

"So, not only did Dr Manmohan Singh preside over the most corrupt
government in independent India’s history, he also made Indians
poorer. On the contrary, PM Vajpayee and Modi made Indians
richer,” BJP’s Amit Malviya said on Wednesday.
During the fag end of his tenure as PM in 2014, Singh had said, "I
honestly hope history would be kinder to me than the contemporary
media, or for that matter, the opposition parties in Parliament."

During the farewell for retiring members in the Rajya Sabha recently,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Singh's role as a member of
the upper house and said his contributions would never be
forgotten. Modi also noted that he came to vote while being in a
wheelchair, and he did so to strengthen democracy.

Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar paid a

personal visit to Singh's residence on Tuesday and he along with his
wife greeted and felicitated the Congress veteran for his long innings
in Parliament.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also visited Singh and lauded
his achievements in Parliament. He said in a letter that he would
remain a "hero" to the middle class and the aspirational youth.

Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi has also hailed Singh's

leadership and described him as the finest person with the brightest
mind.
Known not only for his vision that led India to become an economic
powerhouse, Manmohan Singh is also recognised for his hard work
and his humble, soft-spoken demeanour and many considered him a
man of thought and integrity.

development. Under his stewardship, India witnessed the highest
growth rate averaging 7.7 per cent to become a nearly USD 2 trillion
economy when he helped it catapult into an economic power and
helped raise the living standard of millions, his party has said.
At the core of Singh's idea of India was the belief in not just high
growth but ensuring inclusive growth, which was enshrined in the
passage of several key legislations that ensured citizens the legal
Right to Food, Right to Education, Right to Work and the Right to
Information.
India's growth story under him began when the public servant and
bureaucrat Singh turned into a politician and during his tenure as
Finance Minister from 1991-1996 he scripted several bold economic
reforms.
"No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come. I suggest
to this august House that the emergence of India as a major
economic power in the world happens to be one such idea," Singh
said while ending his iconic budget speech in Parliament in July 1991,
thus ushering in a new era and the emergence of India as an
economic power.
Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah village in what is now Pakistan's
Punjab province, Singh received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees
in Economics from Panjab University in 1952 and 1954 respectively
and completed his Economic Tripos from Cambridge University in
1957. He followed this with a D.Phil in Economics from Oxford
University in 1962.
Singh went on to teach at Panjab University and the Delhi School of
Economics before he joined the Government of India as an Economic
Advisor in the Commerce Ministry in 1971. He was soon promoted to
11
Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry in 1972.
After a short stint at the UNCTAD Secretariat, he was appointed
Secretary General of the South Commission in Geneva from 1987-
1990. In addition, Singh also held the positions of Secretary in the
Finance Ministry, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission,
Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Advisor to the Prime Minister
and Chairman of the University Grants Commission.

implementation of the breakfast scheme by Canada is a
victory of the vision of Chief Minister MK Stalin. The Chief Minister’s
Breakfast Scheme, a dream project of Stalin, is being implemented in
primary schools in the state.

Following this, the officials from Telangana visited the state to study
the implementation of the scheme before it was implemented there.
Now, Canada PM Justin Trudeau has posted on ‘X’ that the morning
breakfast scheme has been implemented in the country, said a press
release.
During a campaign rally at Vellore Fort Ground, Stalin said the
Canadian government has adopted Tamil Nadu’s breakfast scheme.
“This morning, I felt proud to see that the breakfast programme has
commenced not only in India but also in Canada,” he said.
However, it should be noted that Liberal government in Canada had
promised to implement the programme in 2021. Breakfast Club of
Canada, a non-profit organisation, has been advocating for the
scheme for more than 30 years.
