Singh is currently in New Delhi to meet PM Narendra Modi.

Called on @narendramodi Ji to congratulate him on his second term. Took opportunity to raise the Rs 31000Cr legacy debt issue & the 550th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Happy to share that the PM has assured all help on both counts. pic.twitter.com/G65noKWQbN
