Is it the Hon'be PM descending here to defend himself or someone his namesake ? Ha..ha..
Any way, dear Manmohan Singhji,
Though I respect Sardar Manmohan Singh as an honest, competent and intelligent man, he seriously lacks leadership skills. There are two power centres, one of them being 10 Janpath and the other commos. He stands nowhere. To know this, you don't need hidden cameras just observe daily events carefully. The promises of employment are yet to materialise. Instead, they have completely banned government recruitment at lower levels and are talking of reservation even in private sector. They seem to be preparing coffins for the middle class educated youth which would certainly affect our own community.
The party president announcing relief from PM's relief fund publicly where PM is not even President was unheard of, the CMs talking to Sonia for aid to their states is indication enough that he is not the one taking decisions. Any problem in the coalition and he is not even informed, partners talk directly to Sonia. He is the only PM in Indian history who goes to airport to see off the party President defying all norms or protocol. During GOA and Jharkhand crisis/fiasco his not being aware of anything (in his own words) was explicit enough that power lies somewhere else. His own Home Minister didn't bother to report to him for two clear days. The following extracts from a news item which appeared in a national magazine, and I quote, speaks volumes :
"PM angry at being ignored by ministers
13 June 2005:
Enraged at key policy decisions coming to the cabinet for approval without his knowledge or consent, prime minister Manmohan Singh has demanded of his ministers to submit all draft and final cabinet notes to his office beforehand.
What has galled the PM is that the UPA ministers scorned two letters written by cabinet secretary B.K.Chaturvedi in September 2004 and in March this year instructing that all draft cabinet notes had to be submitted to the PMO and its comments awaited for fifteen days, and a third letter with similar instructions, but in tougher language, was sent on 12 May, exhibiting Manmohan’s exasperation with his colleagues.
Officials said that the PM has been growingly faced with the ignominy of learning of several new policies awaiting cabinet approval from the newspapers."
The stint of the UPA government has been marked by the rising prices of essential commodities; a rising inflation rate (which crossed 8 per cent from 5 per cent) and umpteen political controversies, be it on Savarkar, the national flag or the issue of `tainted' Ministers. On crucial political matters, too, the PM has given the impression of not being in control: whether on the issue of Punjab terminating the river water sharing treaty it signed with its neighbouring States, the unrest in Manipur over the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, the flip-flop by the Karnataka government following Uma Bharati's arrest, or Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Shibu Soren trying to evade arrest as a Union Minister.
The conduct in Parliament by all parties has been absolutely dismal.
Having the likes of Laloo Prasad Yadav and Sibu Soren (thank god he's back into political wilderness again) as union ministers is shameful.
An uninspiring, dull and dreary performance, devoid of anything tangible.
He is a good economist having excellent credentials, no doubt, but HE IS A PM IN SHACKLES. His contribution as FM can never be forgotten but at the same time we must remember that he had been given free hand by PVN. He may have been an economic lion but today he is a lion performing in circus being directed from behind the curtains. Promising jobs and talking of reservation even in private sector, stalling even the ongoing infrastructure projects, decrease in FE reserves by almost a billion instead of new FIs are not what Manmohan Singh is known for. Raise any issue and at the best what you can expect is the appointment of a Committee (67 committees in less than a year is mind blowing). Appointment of a committee means to prolong the problem to die its own death or let the people forget about them.
In Indian politics he is not the first and perhaps not the last educated person. There have been scores of them. Had degrees been the criteria Jichkar, MP from Maharashtra during Rajiv/PVN time, should have been PM long back as he had dozes of them. Our own Dr. Sarup Singh was not less educated and competent.
His non-performance, I am afraid, is an offer to those whom you all hate so much for their Hindutva agenda and remember there will be no moderate Vajpayee this time. Hence it may be the worst. Personally I would welcome them as a quick death is hundred times better than prolonged cancerous disease.

And I thank heavens that our PM still has not started responding to every blog that mentions his name or that pass a judgment on the way he is functioning, coz this means that he still has got his priorities straight and is probably doing the job that he has been mandated to do.
