History will remember Manmohan Singh as a consequential PM: Sonia GandhiCongress leader Sonia Gandhi praised former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as a consequential leader whose integrity was vindicated by the Supreme Court's coal case ruling. “History will indeed remember him kindly as a quiet, gentle but a most consequential prime minister,” she said. Dr Singh has been vindicated on every count,” Gandhi wrote. Ultimately, the attack on Dr Singh was motivated by a desperate desire to shift the public conversation and narrative away from his outstanding governance record,” she said. The prime minister regularly made himself accountable to Parliament and to the media through 100-plus unscripted press conferences, she said.
