Fact Check:

To know the reality of the viral picture the DFRAC team conducted a reverse image search. We found this picture posted by a journalist on Twitter on June 1, 2013. In 1997, Manmohan Singh arrived by taxi to attend the Congress Working Committee meeting.

Conclusion:

It is clear from the FACT check of DFRAC that the viral picture is not from Manmohan Singh during his tenure as Prime Minister. Manmohan Singh became prime minister in 2004. While the viral picture is taken in 1997 while going to the Congress Working Committee meeting. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is false.
