Spineless? He has proved himself no spineless by standing up to the Left, even if it meant that his government fall.
Manmohan Singh is noT Spineless. He had taken hard steps while liberalizing the economy attracting similar criticisms like being a US stooge. He catapulted India an economic power. Not like Yashwant Sinha - rolling back policy initiatives - known even today as India's best known Roll Back FM. Yashwant Sinha had no economic solution in 1990 but pledged India's gold to avoid a BoP problem!
ManMohan Singh is unlike Senile Advani who was made to strip of his presidentship of the BJP. Senile Advani then had to put on his khaki knickers and prostrate himself to his RSS masters. Once he did that, the RSS permitted him as a PM candidate.
4 years over 9% growth rate is a achievement no PM in India has achieved to date. That itself is a stupendous achievement. Average agriculture growth is 4% - which is another stupendous achievement. This is in contrast when NDA a was claimed that India was shining - agricultural growth stagnated at mere 1.5%. It is because of this achievement, they are no food riots in this country unlike other countries in this era of global inflation.
