After news about Singh's Death, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted "Amar Singh Ji was an energetic public figure. In the last few decades, he witnessed some of the major political developments from close quarters. He was known for his friendships across many spheres of life. Saddened by his demise. Condolences to his friends & family. Om Shanti." (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan)(PTI03-08-2020_000033B)

In 2011, Amar Singh was accused of fixing deals with several politicians, businessmen and bureaucrats on the phone. Taped phone conversations were made public by media organisations in 2011. Singh, however, denied the allegations, saying the voice in the tapes was not his. (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan)(PTI03-08-2020_000019B)

BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia pays tribute. Amar Singh and actor Amitabh Bachchan were once very close friends and considered him like an elder brother. However, the friendship turned sour during 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Singh wanted Jaya to quit SP after he was expelled from the party, but the actress-turned-politician did not agree to do so.
