Govt agreed to memorial to honour Manmohan Singh, Congress now playing politics: BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi

The BJP and the NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have agreed and announced plans to build a memorial and mausoleum in honor of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, acknowledging his significant contributions to Bharat's economic development,
The article discusses BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi's comments on the Congress party's political tactics regarding the proposal for a memorial in honor of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Trivedi criticized the Congress for what he perceives as their attempt to politicize the issue, especially after the government had already agreed to the memorial. He highlighted that the government's decision to honor Singh was made in recognition of his contributions, particularly his role in the India-US nuclear deal. Trivedi accused the Congress of playing politics with the issue, suggesting that their actions were more about gaining political mileage than genuinely honoring Singh. He also pointed out the irony in Congress's stance, given their past criticisms of Singh, and questioned their sudden change in attitude towards him.
