Former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao chose Manmohan Singh over Pranab Mukherjee to be a Rajya Sabha member from Assam in 1991.

"Narasimha Rao Ji had asked sir (former Assam chief minister Hiteswar Saikia) to bring Manmohan Ji to the Rajya Sabha from Assam. Sir followed that instruction," said Congress MLA and Assam's leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia, the son of Hiteswar Saikia.
