"India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders, Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. Rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist," Modi said in a post on X. "He served in various government positions as well, including as Finance Minister, leaving a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years. His interventions in Parliament were also insightful. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives," he added. 

He recalled his interaction with Manmohan Singh during the time when Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. "We would have extensive deliberations on various subjects relating to governance. His wisdom and humility were always visible," Modi noted.
