Panaji/Delhi, December 26, 2025: India observed the first death anniversary of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the country’s 13th Prime Minister and a key architect of India’s economic liberalization. Dr. Singh passed away on December 26, 2024, at the age of 92, leaving behind a legacy of humility, integrity, and transformative policymaking.

Leaders from the Indian National Congress, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Mallikarjun Kharge, paid floral tributes to Dr. Singh, remembering his landmark initiatives such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the Right to Information Act (RTI), and programs that helped lift over 20 crore people out of poverty.

Tributes poured in from political allies as well. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma acknowledged his contributions to governance and national development. Even his critics, including activist Prashant Bhushan, expressed regret, praising Dr. Singh’s decency, humility, and principled approach to public service.

Dr. Singh’s tenure as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, following his pivotal role as Finance Minister in 1991, is remembered as a period of steady economic growth, social welfare reforms, and measured, thoughtful leadership.

Panaji, Goa – June 20, 2025
In a spirited celebration of values championed by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, top state leaders of the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) and Goa Pradesh Youth Congress (GPYC) came together with grassroots supporters to mark a day dedicated to compassion, inclusiveness, and youth empowerment.

The event saw the presence of GPCC President Amit Patkar (@amitspatkar), Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao (@Yurialemao9), and GPYC Working President Mahesh Narvekar Dessai (@MaheshNDR). Accompanied by enthusiastic Youth Congress functionaries and volunteers, the leaders joined hands to spread smiles and social awareness through various outreach activities across the state.

Honouring the Spirit of Rahul Gandhi’s Leadership

The celebration was not just symbolic — it was grounded in action. Congress members conducted community engagement drives, interacted with local youth, and emphasized the ideals that Rahul Gandhi has consistently promoted: social justice, youth participation, secular values, and the importance of empathy in leadership.

“Rahul Ji has shown us that politics can be compassionate, that leadership can be empathetic. Today, we are here to live those values through real action in our community,” said Amit Patkar.

Activities That Reflected the Message

The day’s events included:

  • Visits to shelters and orphanages to share meals and distribute essential items.
  • Interactive youth circles discussing education, employment, and political participation.
  • Cleanliness drives in urban and semi-urban areas.
  • Cultural interactions and creative sessions to engage with school and college students.

“Youth are not just the future — they are the present. Rahul Ji’s message gives us hope that inclusive politics is possible, and that we must build bridges, not walls,” said GPYC’s Mahesh Dessai.

A Message of Unity and Purpose

Yuri Alemao, the Leader of the Opposition, underlined that the Youth Congress is not only a political wing but a platform for social change. “We are here today to demonstrate the power of grassroots connection, and how political movements can transform into movements of kindness and responsibility.”

The GPCC and GPYC plan to continue these outreach activities throughout the year, keeping alive the values of unity, secularism, and compassion that form the backbone of the Congress party’s ideology.
