NEW DELHI:
As the nation began a seven-day state mourning, leaders left heartfelt messages in the condolence registers, painting a portrait of a leader remembered for both his economic vision and personal integrity.
Union home minister Amit Shah described Singh as an "Ajatshatru Rajnitigya" (a politician who has no enemies).
"Manmohan Singh ji has set a benchmark in India's public life. As the Prime Minister, finance minister and Governor of the RBI, his contributions in the country's development remain unprecedented," Shah wrote.
Some leaders separately too paid tributes. Former President Ram Nath Kovind expressed personal grief, calling Singh's death "not only a tragedy for the nation but an irreversible loss for me."
