Manmohan Singh Death | Remembering The "Accidental' Prime Minister Of India Manmohan Singh | N18V

An era ends as former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passes away at the age of 92. Dr. Singh leaves behind a rich legacy filled with memories and accomplishments. CNN-News18's Pallavi Ghosh reflects on decades of covering the influential leader.

For years, Dr. Singh avoided the media and was hesitant to speak publicly, as he was trained as a bureaucrat, not a politician. Pallavi recalls her first meeting with him in 2004, before he became Prime Minister, where a lunch was marked by silence.

After three years in office, Dr. Singh began opening up to the press during his foreign trips. Pallavi shares insights from their interactions during visits to Nigeria and the U.S. Her last encounter with him was at an Iftar party in 2014, where Dr. Singh displayed remarkable warmth and graciousness toward the media.

Pallavi also recounts asking Dr. Singh about his iconic blue turban. He shared that it was a tribute to his roots, stemming from his days at Cambridge University.

Pallavi reflects on her questions regarding Rahul Gandhi tearing up the UPA ordinance in 2013, with Dr. Singh considering it a "private matter." Dr. Singh also shared a key takeaway from his tenure: the importance of honoring women's wishes, like reducing LPG prices.

Pallavi Ghosh details how Dr. Singh’s political persona evolved during his years in power, marking his leadership as a pivotal chapter in India's history.
