Recall, while Narasimha Rao was Prime Minister, the coterie of Mani Shankar, Ahluwalia, and others took extra efforts to project Sonia Gandhi as the royal widow? So, every time some foreign dignitary came to India, these worthies ensured that this dignitary was compelled to pay a courtesy/condolence call on Signora Sonia. And the papers dutifully carried it on the front page. It was a role played to perfection.
Also recall, while Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister, he allocated Rs. 100 crores to Signora Sonia to be used by her personally for a so-called Rajiv Gandhi Trust?
Given this background Do you seriously expect us to believe that Manmohan Singh is PM, a man of independent thought, and not a puppet run by Signora Sonia?
