Dr Manmohan Singh was in just 250 words ?
๐ชฏ A prime minister who didn’t have to market his family’s poverty
๐ชฏ who had real college degrees from Oxford and Cambridge
๐ชฏ who had a valid US visa before he “accidentally” became @PMOIndia
๐ชฏ who didn’t have a home minister or NSA who were named in murder plots
๐ชฏ who epitomised decency and didn’t taunt women like a cheap rowdy
๐ชฏ who attended Parliament, and treated Opposition as rivals, not enemies
๐ชฏ who didn’t need to brag about working 18-hour days
๐ชฏ who didn’t need a teleprompter to demonstratoe his “oratory”
๐ชฏ whose opinion world leaders sought during the 2008 global financial crisis
๐ชฏ whose leadership saw India’s GDP grow by 144% GDP over 10 years
๐ชฏ who lifted 250 million out of poverty, and grew per capita GDP by 121%
๐ชฏ who delivered stock market returns of 20.78% and 11.61% in his two terms
๐ชฏ who increased the real income of farm cultivators by 7.5%
๐ชฏ who made food, education employment, info a right of the people
๐ชฏ who didn’t make stupid decisions that ruined the lives and livelihood of people
๐ชฏ who didn’t function as the commission agent of any corporate
๐ชฏ who didn’t need to pose with film stars or watch movies with colleagues
๐ชฏ who didn’t need to follow hate-mongers on social media
And, above all, a minority Sikh
๐ชฏ who kept the majoritarian monkeys on leash instead of allowing them to dig under mosques, dance before churches
And a true visionary who saw the future.
