Message: <blockquote data-quote="dalvinder45" data-source="post: 226198" data-attributes="member: 26009">It is very rare for an IAS officer to work with three prime ministers in his career. T K A Nair had the unique opportunity to work with I K Gujral, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Dr Manmohan Singh."He didn't want to take credit. He wanted everyone to see them, whether it was MNREGA or the nuclear deal, as the achievements of the country, achievements of a democratic government and not the achievement of one person," recalls Mr Nair who served as principal secretary to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.When he was criticised harshly by the Opposition, Dr Singh said 'History will be kinder to me than contemporary India'. As someone who worked with him closely, do you feel that way?He said it when he was criticised for so many things, but he never showed any ill will or animosity towards those critics of his. They had their own axe to grind.He accepted the criticism as he had the courage and conviction about the actions that he took.Those who have known him not only as the PM but as the finance minister earlier knew that his was a life that was devoted to the service of this country.In recent times, he contributed to the development of the country more than anybody else.In a manner of speaking, he was the father of an economically resurgent India.If Pandit Nehru laid the foundations of modern India, Dr Manmohan Singh laid the foundation of an economically strong, progressive, developing India.The policies and programmes started by him aimed at the common man have been continued under one name or the other today. That in itself is a tribute to the lasting contribution of Manmohan Singh.</blockquote>
