NEW DELHI:
Modi said Singh, who died at 92 of age-related illnesses on Thursday, was the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor during challenging times (1982-1985) and put India on a new economic path as the finance minister in PV Narasimha Rao's government (1991-1996), overcoming the financial crisis. "As prime minister, his (Singh's) contribution to the country's development and progress will always be remembered," said Modi in a video message.
Modi's tribute was notable for its focus on Singh's personal qualities. "His life was a reflection of honesty and simplicity," the PM observed, highlighting how Singh maintained his core values following a journey through the world's most prestigious educational institutions and the highest offices of government.
Singh's humility, sobriety, and intellect, Modi said, defined his life as a distinguished parliamentarian. He praised Singh's commitment to his role as a lawmaker and recalled the times he attended Parliament in a wheelchair over the last few years. "His dedication as a Member of Parliament is an inspiration to all."
