A political row erupted over the location of Manmohan Singh's last rites at Delhi's Nigambodh Ghat. The Congress accused the Centre of disrespecting the former Prime Minister by holding the funeral at a public crematorium. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi criticized the government for poor arrangements and disrespect to Singh's legacy. BJP leaders, including JP Nadda and Sambit Patra, countered, calling Congress's remarks cheap politics and stressing that space for a memorial had been promised. The dispute also referenced past grievances with Congress's treatment of leaders like Narasimha Rao and Pranab Mukherjee.
