New Delhi. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at the age of 92. Manmohan Singh is such a link in Indian politics, without whom the picture of India would not have been what it is today. As the Finance Minister, he is credited with the economic reforms done in the country in 1991. Apart from this, when he became the PM, he was considered a very weak Prime Minister. But when it came to the India-US nuclear deal, PM Manmohan Singh showed such a tough stand that there was an atmosphere of surprise all over the world.
How Manmohan Singh, who was considered 'weak', showed amazing flexibility and at the same time a tough stand to secure the Indo-US nuclear deal, is just a sample of the decisions taken in the national interest in front of the whole world. The nuclear deal between India and America was a milestone to end the nuclear sanctions imposed on India. For which Manmohan Singh defeated all his political rivals. As the Prime Minister of India, he took such decisions that changed the direction of the country's history.
'Was considered the weakest PM of the country'
The mild and professorial Manmohan Singh was considered one of the weakest Prime Ministers of the country. He challenged the lobbies and enemies within the political establishment and signed the historic nuclear deal with the US and took bilateral relations to a new level. It is worth noting that Manmohan Singh's government at that time depended on the support of the Left parties. Who were staunchly opposed to the nuclear deal with the US. Manmohan Singh's troubles with the Left started when Prakash Karat replaced Harkishan Singh Surjeet as the general secretary of the CPI(M).
Did not care about the Left
Both Surjeet and former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu had repeatedly assured Manmohan Singh of their support when he became prime minister in 2004. They would say that as long as the Congress followed the common minimum programme, they would have no problem with it. After Surjeet stepped down from the leadership of the CPI(M), Karat became a thorn in the side of the prime minister. While Karat's public image was that of an ideologically uncompromising and tough negotiator, in private he was mild and a gentleman. However, Indians accepted that the Indo-US nuclear deal brought India closer to the US.Manmohan Singh Death, India US nuclear deal, Manmohan Singh Death News, Manmohan Singh News, मनमोहन सिंह की मृत्यु, भारत अमेरिका परमाणु समझौता, मनमोहन सिंह की मृत्यु समाचार, मनमोहन सिंह समाचार
