He held different posts, for example, advisor to the FTM (Foreign Trade Ministry), Chief Economic Advisor in the Ministry of Finance, Governor of RBI (Reserve Bank of India), and Head of the Planning Commission. As the Finance Minister in the Pamulaparti Venkata (P. V. Narasimha Rao) government during the 1990s, he did a few basic changes that changed India's economy, which upgraded Singh's notoriety as a dominant reform-minded financial analyst. In the time of 2004, he was chosen to be the Prime Minister of India which came as astonishment as everyone was expecting Sonia Gandhi, being the leader of the UPA (United Progressive Alliance), to take up the post. His no-nonsense picture and a splendid bureaucratic affair were indeed recognized by the general population and he was re-chosen as the Prime Minister in 2009. Be that as it may, in his second term, he was blamed for fostering too close a political relationship with the United States and his party confronted further claims of corruption which finally led to the disintegration of the party's reputation with the general population. In spite of the criticism, he is still viewed as the key engineer to usher India into a new financial shape. An extraordinary mastermind, researcher and a capable financial expert, he is the main head administrator since Jawaharlal Nehru, to be re-chosen in the wake of finishing an entire five-year term.
