Aseem Arun, a minister in Uttar Pradesh and former bodyguard of Dr. Manmohan Singh, shared an emotional anecdote about the late former Prime Minister, whom he served for three years. Reflecting on their time together, Arun posted a heartfelt message on social media, accompanied by a photograph with Singh. He recalled that Dr. Singh owned a single car—a humble Maruti 800—that stood parked behind the sleek black BMWs at the Prime Minister’s residence. Dr. Singh often remarked to Arun, “I prefer my car; this is my ride.” Despite traveling in the official convoy, his eyes would linger on the Maruti as if reaffirming his middle-class roots and commitment to the common man. Arun's story highlights the humility and grounded nature of a leader revered for his simplicity and integrity.
