Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge paid tribute to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday, September 26, describing him as a visionary statesman whose economic reforms transformed India’s growth trajectory. In a post on X marking Dr. Singh’s birth anniversary, Mr.

Kharge praised his humility, integrity and wisdom. He said the former Prime Minister led with quiet dignity and compassion and placed inclusive growth and the welfare of vulnerable people at the centre of governance. Mr.

Kharge said Dr. Singh’s reforms created new opportunities and helped lift millions of people out of poverty. He also referred to the rights-based framework associated with Dr.

Singh’s government, calling it an enduring expression of his political vision. The Congress president described Dr. Singh’s contribution as part of India’s nation-building and said his legacy of honest public service, inclusive development and transformative reforms would continue to inspire future generations.

Dr. Singh was born on September 26, 1932, in Gah, now in Pakistan. He served as Prime Minister for two terms and died on December 26, 2024, according to the source material.

Mr. Kharge’s message was a tribute rather than an announcement of a new policy or political programme. The supplied material records his assessment of Dr.

Singh’s legacy but does not include responses from other parties or public figures. It also does not detail individual reforms or identify particular rights-based laws associated with his governments.
