Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh , the first PM outside the Nehru-Gandhi family to complete a full term in office, will finish a remarkable political innings in the Rajya Sabha spanning 33 years on Wednesday.
Singh, 91, was the third PM from the Rajya Sabha after Indira Gandhi (in her first term) and Inder Kumar Gujral.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday wrote to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, praising his contribution to the country, as he retires from Rajya Sabha. In an X post, Kharge said “An era comes to an end” with Singh’s retirement. The Congress president also said the former Prime Minister would remain a “hero” to the middle class and the aspirational youth.
