Dr Manmohan Singh was an eminent economist long before he first joined P.V.Narasimha Rao govt as finance minister. Advani's only "title deed to eminence" was the "rath yatra". The choice before Indian electorate is, therefore, clear! mohammadvazeeruddin@rediffmail.com

If criteria of EDUCATION is to be applied Sonia (High School?) cannot even stay in India. Half of Congresman will quit politics. There will be hardly any Muslim in Lok Sabha (Unless, like Laloo, you recognise Madrasaa courses as EDUCATION). BJP will come out tops.

there is nobody in BJP to match the stature of MMS. BJP is filled with blind hindutvavadis who go around wearing chadddi and knikcers. Do you think Venkaiah Naidu, Rajnath Singh, Yeddiyurappa are educated lol. They are not even literate.

There are scores of other economists in the Indian Statistical Institute and various other financial institutions who are equally competent if not more. MMS became the PM just because the wise former PM Sri PVNRao stumbled on his name and made him the FM. He is the PM SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS LOYALTY TO THE GANDHI FAMILY AND ALSO BECUASE HE CANNOT BACKSTAB THE HIGH COMMAND AS HE IS NOT A PROFFESIONAL POLITICIAN.

MMS is an eminent economist with no spine. LKA is a seasoned statesman with spine.

Congress is a minority appeasement party. It doesnt act opon islamic terrorists. The nuclear deal may be signed even afterwards. But if the life goes by this no action on terrorists, the life cannot be brought back. So the congress is more dangerous to the nation than the benifits from nuclear deal. Therefore the congress must go first.
