Hyderabad:BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao mourned the death of former prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and expressed shock at his death. He recalled the stellar role played by him when the nation was in dire economic crisis.
In a release here on Thursday, Rao said, “Manmohan Singh had earned the trust of former PM P.V. Narasimha Rao, who considered him a dear son of the nation. That the state was formed during his tenure as PM is historical.”
In this context, Rao recalled his association with Dr. Singh after joining the UPA as a tactical move before the state was secured.

His death is a loss to the nation. I express my profound grief to his family members,” he said.
