Former Prime Minister and senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday at the age of 92. Singh, who was admitted to AIIMS Delhi earlier in the evening in critical condition, succumbed to his health issues later, according to reports.
Singh’s admission to the hospital came after his health deteriorated rapidly. Known for his significant contributions to Indian politics and economics, his passing marks the end of an era.
Decades of Service to Parliament
Singh, who retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year, had an extensive and impactful career in Indian politics. His tenure in the Upper House spanned 33 years, during which he played a pivotal role in shaping policies and governance.
As news of his hospitalization spread, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, along with several political figures from across party lines, arrived at AIIMS Delhi to express their support. Singh’s stature as a leader transcended political affiliations, and his passing has prompted reactions from across the political spectrum.
