THE MAN MYSTIQUE

Dr. Manmohan Singh, has now established himself as the longest serving Prime Minister after Jawarharlal Nehru. The man handpicked by P V Narasimha Rao to take India forward through his pro liberal policies as finance Minister and later handpicked by Sonia to lead the Government has always maintained a low profile and has become a darling of the media, the elite, the intelligentia. Whomsoever charges this Government of corruption are careful not to drag him in to as if he were a rishi . Even Dr.Subramanian Swamy who wrote to him seeking sanction to prosecute his erstwhile colleague, despite having been snubbed by PMO maintains he is innocent. Ratan Tata who finds himself in a soup for having tried to influence a policy decision in ministry making is aghast at the innuendoes hurled at him. The Supreme court while reprimanding Raja for having chosen to ignore his advisory on spectrum allocation is silent on his complicity- knowingly or otherwise. 

 

Dr. Singh pontificated to the Supreme court that they should not tread in to realm of policy making when judges ordered the grains getting rotten to be given free to the poor. Dr. Singh blocked universalisation of PDS through his cronies in Planning Commission. Dr Singh used dubious means to win the confidence vote following withdrawal of support by left parties during the vote on nuclear deal. No one protested. Dr. Singh relies only on bureaucracy to run his government and ignores political team mates- in fact snubs them at every opportunity. recall the limited mandate speech of Home Minister while dealing with Naxalites. He employs his own chosen men even granting extension at taxpayers expense to run his government. There are many thing which are questionable decisions in his regime and yet people always give him the benefit of doubt. Probably you never had a man in history endowed with such a share of luck and grace. Otherwise it baffles me for a head of Government mired in scandals and controversies to come as Mr.Clean
