A tale of two ministers

Amidst the plethora of disturbing news on Coalgate, Quota mess and subsequent logjam in the Parliament, it was really heartening to see Sachin Pilot join the OG. Mind you, the young minister didn’t need to wear the uniform and march in the Army Headquarters to get his face published in the newspapers. He is a minister in the Government. And he is a very popular eloquent leader in his scheme of things. Why he joined as a lieutenant is still a mystery. Nevertheless he earned a lot of respect from many quarters. He could have easily become a Lt Col, but Pilot preferred to join the forces at the starting level of officers. It is not everyday that a minister joins the Army. If I happen to bump into the hon’ble minister I would certainly communicate a word of praise to him, but even if I don’t, he gets the pat from someone who hung his boots long time ago. Keep it up Lt Pilot – a thinking, doing minister. In the same vein, Pilot’s senior should learn from him. Its time Manmohan Singh quit the government and save the nation from the shame and corruption he brings to his office. MMS is silently self-serving-highly ambitious PM clutching onto the seat that doesn’t belong to him. He has no proven track record as a leader, having lost a single election he contested from South Delhi Lok Sabha seat. And is RS member from Assam, a state he has no connection with. A lot of criticism is heaped from within the country but he objected only when a firangi paper wrote a few lines of mild observations. Perhaps he got perturbed because the paper was from the country that paid his salariy when serving international financial organisations. MMS is a spent force, having made mota maal as Coal and Space Minister and even as PM. Who said anything about the episode of two girls and a pimp driving into his official residence? Perhaps an orgy was not out of the order. It is time that a rubber stamp, debase, taint-contaminated, rudderless, “dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government (Washington Post)” is shown the door.
