The text in the viral image shows that the former PM is praising present PM Narendra Modi while taking a jab at Congress saying that unlike Modi, he did not have the liberty to take decisions while he was the PM.<\/p>\n<p>The image seems to be a collage of two apparent tweets by Singh and the following is written in the middle section joining the two tweets: &#8220;I am proud of Prime Minister, Shri. Narendra Modi&#8221;. The tweets in Hindi can be translated as: <strong>1.<\/strong> &#8220;I could have also taken such huge decisions for the country but the Congress never gave me that liberty, Narendra Modi makes his decisions himself which is why the country is improving.&#8221;\u00a0<strong>2.\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;Today I am saying this without any inhibitions, in this entire world there cannot be another leader or Prime Minister like Modi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Facebook user Lokesh Kumar Arya shared the image on June 6 with a caption in Hindi that said, &#8220;What should I say, Manmohan Singh ji himself said everything.
