ahaha - well for one thing - a PM has to handle extremely bright, articulate IAS officers of central services not state level promotee IAS/IPS officers. Only an educated guy like Manmohan or Chidambram or Narsimha Rao could handle them or someone with earthy brilliance like Laloo Yadav. Even Vajpayee who is a decently intelligent guy would use a Brajesh Mishra ( old friend ) to handle bureaucracy and manage media. Buffoons will have no way of even running the country let alone deal with external guys.
