Hiteswar Saikia - Controversy Regarding Dr Manmohan Singh's Residence in Saikia Hohuse

Controversy Regarding Dr Manmohan Singh's Residence in Saikia Hohuse

Hiteswar was a close friend and associate of Dr Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India. In fact, Dr Man Mohan Singh became a Rajya Sabha MP from Assam quota by claiming that he was a resident of Assam by producing a house rent receipt from Saikia's wife. According to an affidavit submitted by Dr Man Mohan Singh, the prime minister stays in Saikia's rented house at Sarumotoria by paying a monthly rent of Rupees 700. Manmohan Singh could become a Rajya Sabha member, and thereby a prime minister, chiefly by falsely claiming that he was a resident of Hiteswar Saikia's house in Guwahati.
