Former Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh will retire from the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday after a long innings of 33 years. He is the first PM outside the Nehru-Gandhi family to complete two full terms of PM.
The 91 year old Manmohan Singh was India’s only Sikh PM. He was the architect of India’s economic liberalisation. He brought about a number of reforms including Direct Benefit Transfer and also launched Aadhar.
He entered the Upper House in October 1991 just four months after he became the Union Finance Minister in June 1991. He is considered to be one of the best parliamentary speakers. He represented Assam for five terms in the Rajya Sabha and later represented Rajasthan in 2019.
