FORMER PRIME MINISTER Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the principal architect of India's economic liberalisation, passed away here on Thursday. Singh, 92, had been admitted to the emergency department of AIIMS.
Paying tribute, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on X: "India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders whose wisdom and humility were always visible."
Singh served as the prime minister from 2004 to 2014 and was a member of the Congress. A noted economist, he was the first PM since Jawaharlal Nehru to be re-elected after completing a full five-year term.
As the finance minister between 1991 and 1996, Singh heralded comprehensive deregulation of the Indian economy by dismantling the licence raj, and whittling down trade barriers. As the country was gripped by a balance of payments crisis, he seized the moment to usher in path-breaking reforms on the economic front, a development that led the country to become a fast-growing economy, with a burgeoning middle class, a large and booming service sector, and solid consumption growth.

Defiant push to change Constitution
Commentators described the BJP-led government as a minority’ government that will force Mr Modi to be more circumspect and restrained. I did not share that view. They thought that Mr Modi will be more deferent to Parliament, but that too was belied by the Winter session. Apparently, on Mr Modi’s instructions, the ministers and MPs carried on in the usual aggressive way, Showed scant respect to Parliamentary rules and conventions, and rode roughshod over the Opposition
