PVN was born to a poor family.. he was adopted by a rich landlord when he was 12 years old.. he went on to become a great scholar and accomplished person. He donated 600 acres of his foster Father's property (out of the 900 acres) to poor. Tell me one other person who had done such a deed, esp from the great family we're being ruled by.
PVN never had any need or the "daridra" to indulge in corruption. He was forced to bear with dirty corrupt people in the govt to keep a majority govt and rescue the country.
He tried his best to screw these dirty people towards the end of his PM term, people like Shibu Soren, that Mandal guy and Arjun Singh, not to forget Bofors. But the great coterie managed to get back.
Because of PVN software/liberalization came into the country, and the Congi foisted license raj was finally abolished. Merit students finally could get private sector jobs and not rely on begging for abolition of reservations in govt jobs and colleges.
PVN took over at a time when Terrorism started in Kashmir, Punjab, ULFA/Naga/Bodo in NE, some 50 million $ in the country's treasury, not enough to buy oil for more than a week... mandal agitations all over the country, govt instability, Rajiv Gandhi's assassination..
And yet He managed to steer the country out of trouble and instill confidence and pride in each one of us..
God, thanks for giving us such a great soul! One such soul is enough - every time I eat my food in my plate I remember PVN, and I remember that it is
