Without Manmohaneconomics (taken forward by Vajpayee) India would not have been able to lift 271 million out of poverty between 2006-16. Yet wise Dr Singh was pilloried by his rivals, not backed up even by his own party. Get well soon sir, India needs you! #ManmohanSingh

Singh is well known for his 1991 Budget speech and for steering the country out of an economic crisis by introducing new economic policies based on liberalisation, privatisation and a globalisation model.
Soon after the news about his health broke, messages poured in from Congress and members of other political parties, who expressed concern and offered the former prime minister their support.

I along with more than a billion Indians wish him a speedy recovery and pray for his good health and long life.
Singh was referred to as 'the silent prime minister' by the opposition for not being very vocal.
In 2014, when the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government came to power, Singh had emphasised that he hadn't been a weak prime minister and said: "I honestly believe, history will be kinder to me than the contemporary media and the opposition."
