Manmohan Singh has released a video statement ahead of the Punjab assembly polls and the last phase of the UP assembly elections in which he says that he was called Maun Mohan at the time, but now when people remember him for the good job he did.
Mr. Singh said, "I am satisfied that I am known as 'Maun Mohan' and false allegations of corruption are levied against the government, but the nation will never forget what I have done and the BJP has been exposed."
According to him, due to the wrong policy of the government, people are suffering from inflation and unemployment, and for 7.5 years, the government has not acknowledged its failures, however, but instead blamed the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
He said that there is a graciousness to the prime ministerial post and blaming history will not lessen the sins of the present government. He is still recovering from post Covid complications and could not attend any rally or press conference in Punjab.
The former Prime Minister defended Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and said that the BJP is trying to defame him in the name of security. Similarly, the farmers were also demonised.
The Congress had announced Charanjit Singh Channi's name as the Chief Minister's face just weeks ahead of the assembly polls.
