India feels the absence of a PM with the depth of Manmohan Singh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday, taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he wished the former prime minister on his birthday. Singh, who headed the UPA coalition government between 2004 and 2014, turned 88 on Saturday.
“India feels the absence of a PM with the depth of Dr Manmohan Singh. His honesty, decency and dedication are a source of inspiration for us all,” Gandhi said. “Wishing him a very happy birthday and a lovely year ahead,” the former Congress chief tweeted with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayDrMMSingh#.
