Kharge lauded Singh’s economic policies, emphasizing their broad benefits to various segments of society. He credited Singh for lifting 27 crore people out of poverty, the highest number globally during his tenure as Prime Minister. Singh was hailed as a hero to the middle class, a mentor to entrepreneurs, and a savior to those who escaped poverty due to his policies.

He noted that the economic reforms initiated during Singh’s tenure laid the groundwork for the nation’s current prosperity. Kharge lamented the loss of Singh’s dignified presence in Parliament and urged him to continue sharing his wisdom with the nation even in retirement.
As Singh prepares to step back from active politics, Kharge expressed hope that he will remain a moral compass for the country, offering peace, health, and happiness in his future endeavors.
