Singh was born in a Jat family in western Uttar Pradesh in 1902. He went on to become a prominent leader, especially in north India, and an axis of anti-Congress politics after he quit the Congress. He further served as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
The Modi government awarded the Bharat Ratna to him this year, recognizing his contributions to public life. His grandson, Jayant Singh, is a minister in the BJP-led NDA government.
