After the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, many stories related to him are in discussion. Manmohan Singh was a person of calm nature and he used to speak very little, but people who worked with him are proving through different stories that how much he used to think about the common man and how loyal he was to his duties. One such story has been put in front of everyone by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Asim Arun.

Asim Arun narrated the story related to Manmohan Singh's car Maruti 800 on the social media platform X. Through this story, he told that Manmohan was honest towards his duties. 

I preferred to travel in Maruti 800 instead of BMW

Aseem Arun wrote "I was his bodyguard for almost three years from 2004. The SPG has the innermost security ring for the PM - the Close Protection Team which I had the opportunity to lead. AIG CPT is the person who can never stay away from the PM. If only one bodyguard can stay with him, then this guy will be with him. In such a situation, it was my responsibility to stay with him like his shadow. 

Dr sahab had only one car of his own - Maruti 800, which used to be parked behind the shiny black BMW in the PM House. Manmohan Singh ji would repeatedly tell me - Aseem, I do not like to travel in this car, my car is this (Maruti). I would explain that Sir, this car is not for your luxury, its security features are such that the SPG has taken it. But whenever the convoy passed in front of Maruti, he would always look at it to his heart's content. As if repeating a resolution that I am a middle class person and it is my job to worry about the common man. The car worth crores belongs to the PM, my car is this Maruti.
