The death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has stirred intense political debate, as Union Minister G Kishan Reddy accused the Congress party of exploiting the tragedy for political gains.
Reddy condemned Congress leaders, including Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, for allegedly disrespecting Singh during his lifetime. Highlighting the BJP's commitment to honor Singh, he noted Prime Minister Modi's decision to conduct Singh's last rites with the highest honors and to establish a memorial in his name.
With Congress criticizing the handling of Singh's funeral as disrespectful, the BJP retorted, urging the opposition to cease their political posturing over Singh's demise. Singh, a pivotal figure in India's economic liberalization, was laid to rest with full state honors.
