Later Years

In 1946 K.B.Singh was appointed to Executive Council. During the same year, he also attempted to establish a new union known as the Southern Division Farmers Union. There was widespread opposition to this until Vishnu Deo took over its leadership. He remained in the Legislative Council as a nominated member until 1947.

K.B. Singh made numerous attempts to get back into the Legislative Council as an elected member, but without success. In the 1963 election, he was defeated by Andrew Deoki for the Southern Indian seat. In the 1966 election, he was defeated by K.C.Ramrakha of the Federation Party for the Tailevu Rewa Indian Communal seat.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    But to wish is first to think,
    And to think is to be dumb,
    And barren of a word to drop
    That to a milder shore might come
    And, years ahead, erect a crop.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    In the Corner Store, near the village center, hangs a large sign reading: ‘After 40 years of credit business, we have closed our book of Sorrow.’
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
