A moving and powerful article by Sonia Gandhi ji on the extraordinary legacy of Dr Manmohan Singh in today’s @IndianExpress .
She writes about one of the most egregious habits of the current government: “Dr Singh's record of integrity and accountability stands in stark contrast to how the Narendra Modi government has operated, so clearly and grossly misusing agencies designed to investigate crime and corruption like the ED and the CBI. Its purpose has been to exert pressure on politicians. Leaders are either silenced through coercion or cynically folded into the BJP or, in some remarkable instances, rewarded with ministerial positions as well. When credible accusations of corruption emerge, the Modi government simply brushes them aside. Corrupt when you're in the Opposition, suddenly clean when you jump ship!”
“The mischievous and indefensible allegations against his integrity have been exposed as hollow, and his record as Prime Minister is increasingly being recognised for what it was: a period of decisive economic, political, and social advancement in Indian history.
History will indeed remember Dr. Manmohan Singh kindly as a quiet, gentle but a most consequential Prime Minister.”

Thanks to @INCIndia President @kharge ji and LS LoP @RahulGandhi ji for a warm and constructive discussion today on a wide range of subjects. We are all on the same page as we move forward in the service of the people of India.
Honestly speaking, I think Opposition Parties should have boycotted this election
They already knew what was happening after SIR & Vote Chori. Learn from Mahatma Gandhi.
