Bhubaneswar, Dec 28: Odisha Deputy Chief Minister KV Singh Deo on Saturday said the central government has decided to set up a memorial for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
“Late Dr Manmohan Singh was a great economist... He was the architect of the financial reforms in the country. It is unfortunate that his own party did not give him the respect he deserved. The Government of India has decided to set up a memorial in his memory in Delhi and complete it within the stipulated time," Odisha Deputy CM Deo said.
Meanwhile, reiterating the Bharatiya Janata Party's belief in "dignity in death," party MP Sambit Patra on Saturday attacked Congress for indulging in "politics" over the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and said that if someone has "damaged the dignity" of former Finance Minister it's Congress party.
"This is a new low in politics of India, thanks to the Congress party. Due to the Congres party - we are here to have a press conference on the day when the last rites of the former prime minister were done... BJP believes that there has to be dignity in death," Patra said addressing a press conference in Bhubaneswar.
