Don't blame someone just for the sake of doing it. Dr Manmohan Singhji is one of the best PM ( non corrupt ), we could get. The author has clearly mentioned about the issue with Thorium reactors - " Thorium-based fast-breeder technology would be an exception to this, as India has 31 per cent of the world's reserves, but the technology is far from being commercially viable. " These technologies are cutting edge technologies , which cannot be developed overnight or the government can just declare the technology as part of the budget speech. I would prefer this forum to be used for more of healthy discussion.
