Visionary Leader – Dr. Manmohan Singh❤️..

If anyone asks you what Dr. Manmohan Singh has done in the period 2004-2014 then tell the below👇🏻.

They are not like Modi’s Jumla, Fake data & photoshop achievements by Modi.

The below are some of the real achievements of great MMS. Many more.. cannot list all the achievements of Manmohan. Unfortunetely he thought it was his duty, not achievements. Hence he didn’t market his duties as Achievements.
