Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended his predecessor Manmohan Singh's contribution to the Rajya Sabha during a farewell ceremony for retiring members on Thursday. Singh, despite using a wheelchair, came to vote, an act Modi praised as strengthening democracy.
Taking a sarcastic dig at the Congress, Modi thanked Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge for presenting a black paper against his administration, likening it to a kaala teeka amidst the government's productive initiatives.
