Manmohan Singh is an utter failure
by Suraj Singh on Aug 02, 2008 11:44 AM

I will not go into length again of the manner in which Manmohan Singh"s anti-national UPA government has compromised national interests since it has been dealt by me earlier. [10] As for his achievements none of them are commendable in itself. The NREGA was a feudal farce, the farmer subsidy was ill constructed and improperly directed and hence has failed to contain continuing farmer suicides in Maharashtra and AP which both congress ruled states. The Nuclear deal is not the panacea for our growing energy needs as even by 2030 it can gratify only 5% of our total energy needs. The government has done nothing to harness India"s abundant renewable energy sources. When Pranab Mukerjee indulges in the sophistry of pointing out the nuclear energy assets of France we are not told the almost 100 fold increase in infrastructure it would entail; he also fails to take into account the criticism of the deal by top scientists who warn the government whether we want this mythical extra "energy security " through this deal , paying almost thrice the unit capital cost of conventional power plants , with the additional burden of subjugating the freedom to pursue a foreign policy and indigenous nuclear R&D programme of our own
