Hours after slamming the NDA government, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the two discussed issues related to the economy and foreign policy.
Singh, a senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member, went to the 7 Race Course Road residence of the Prime Minister to meet him. “Very happy to meet Dr. Manmohan Singh ji & welcome him back to 7RCR. We had a great meeting,” Modi tweeted later along with their photographs.
In a statement, Singh’s office said the former Prime Minister met Modi at the latter’s “invitation” and “they discussed the economic situation in the country and foreign policy issues.” Sources close to Singh told PTI that Modi had sent a message on Tuesday morning, expressing desire to meet his predecessor over tea sometime in the evening . This could not fructify and the meeting was scheduled for this evening.
