Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in a video message ahead of the first round of voting in the Assam Assembly polls urged people of the state to vote for a government that upholds the Constitution and the principles of democracy.
"It was my privilege to represent Assam in the Rajya Sabha, for 28 years from 1991 to 2019.
I am deeply grateful for the trust and affection of the people of Assam and for the friendship of Late Sri Hiteswar Saikia and Late Sri Tarun Gogoi.
The people of Assam enabled me to serve our country as Finance Minister of India for five years and as Prime Minister of India for 10 years," Singh said.
