Why is Manmohan Singh the worst PM any country can have?


Before you continue, please remember the Boot them campaign is still on. We need to show the Netas their place. Back to MMS It is rather late in the day to point out but surely we deserve Manmohan Singh as our Prime Minister. It’s not his fault that he is the PM. It is our fault. We get what we deserve. But now, the PM is sure to resign and Sushilkumar Shinde take over, it is time to look back. With no apologies, the questions are about his abilities as PM of a vast nation as ours. However, it is to his praise that he can sustain being PM for so long without having accepted what is wrong. He is having a ball. God has really blessed MMS – given him everything and yet expect from him nothing. Certainly God has his bias. But in doing so, God has giving the country the worst ever leader and by no stretch of imagination he can be called so. When Congress got a comfortable majority in 2004, Sonia Gandhi could have taken over South Block, but instead passed the baton to MMS. They wanted a lame duck, docile, mummy figure. He has no political standing. Imagine, he lost Vijay Kumar Malhotra from the highly influential South Delhi. Today he cannot raise his voice in front of any Congress doorman. MMS had all the qualities they could hope for if they wanted rule South Block from 10 Janpath. He fit the bill for the Congress Party. After having used him for nine and half months, the Gandhis feel it is time he is shown the door. He has taken the country on the brink of political, social and economic collapse. Our rupee touched over 100 to a pound. Oh! It is only a temporary phase. The country is developing faster than it could have had it been under Indira, Rajiv or Vajpayee. Chandrashekhar, VP, Gujral got hardly anytime. Are we forgetting Deve Gowda? What is the problem folks? MMS is not embroiled in any major controversy, scam or corruption case above Rs 2 lakh crore. For everything else, please blame the Congress party. 2G scam (1,76 lakh crore), Adarsh (just one building with some flats), Commonwealth (76,000 crore or so), Railway recruitment (just what a minister can’t even dream of getting as bribe to appoint a member) are some of the glaring examples where the PM is not directly involved. And even when the PM could have been directly involved, given he was the minister concerned or in-charge, the deals have not got him in headlines. Antrix-Devas (Rs 1,000 crore or so) and Coal scam (1.7 lakh cr or so) only figure with PM at the helm but big deal. Coal was going on much before MMS become PM. And hey now that certain files are missing, who is going to find out. So please don’t bother your head. You journalists and people just want to blame high and mighty without any iota of proof or witness. They can handle the courts. MMS has never offered to resign. Advani and gang have shout their lungs out. They are the Opposition, its their job. But what about your job Mr PM! Yes, MMS can read written speeches. He doesn’t need to inspire confidence of the people – for that you have Anna Hazare, Modi, Sonia ji, Rahul ji… He can just be a MMS – good to sneer at. Have you ever felt why he is your PM? Oh technically, our Constitution says, ‘We the People – ‘can have a government’, For the People, by the People and of the People. Please read it as Oh, you don’t need to be an elected one, you can be anybody – placed in Rajya Sabha, and behold, Dude, You got PM! If you compare him to Obama, you might feel ashamed. The country may need a leader but you get MMS. Has he ever realised that he would be a blot in the history books? Perhaps, he has never seriously contemplated resigning. However, he has accepted vacating the chair if Rahul Gandhi is ready for the job. For anybody else, MMS thinks what is the need for replacement? Rahul for God sake, please…
