The UPA's achievements despite global inflation creating a dent is actually praisworthy as noted by Business Standard:
"Start with the performance of the economy. Its growth rate last year has been upped from 8.7 per cent to 9 per cent, taking the average rate of growth in the four years of the Manmohan Singh government to 8.9 per cent. I cannot think of any other government that would not make a bit of a noise about such stellar success, and draw comparisons with the record of its predecessor (5.9 per cent over six years) — showing a jump of 50 per cent. Or take agriculture, whose annual growth during the UPA term has been 3.6 per cent — again a jump of nearly 50 per cent, and the best record since the 1980s."
Though urban India bears the brunt of inflation, farmers have more money in their hands like never seen before from the 80s. Urban India may have progressing at the cost of rural India for 3 decades now. So some re-distribution of wealth is a silver lining to inflation

MMS is erudite, honest, modest and a highly respected Prime Minister the world over.
He is self-effacing and has kept a low profile and taken on himself all the batterings and personal attacks from BJP and the Left without retaliating.
All Indians should support this deal .. he started the economic reforms when everyone was against his policies and now this deal.
I pray that he wins the trust vote and moves the deal forward and then concentrate on the inflation which India can get out of under his astute leadership.

this is second good job, first good job was done by Narsimha rao govt and MM singh in 1991 by changing economic policies. Electricity is more important than Nuclear bomb. Mr Praksh Karat should understand this..

Sharma. Why get conditioned by the propaganda of the Hindutva brigade. Today the world laughs at us Hindus - the only majority community in the world who demonstrates a minority complex.
In India Hindus are over 80% of the population (last Census carried out during NDA tenure). In the world 1 out of every 4 or 5 individual is a Hindu.

Mr.All Right 1 out of every 8 individual is a Hindu where 2.5 is muslim and 3.5 is Christian and 1 others. Greek,Rome and the whole Europe once consisted of nature worshippers who were called pagans after christianity was formed and was converted by Crusaders and Church and the leftover population by Muslim invaders.Asia starting from Arabia in west to Indonesia & Papua New Guinea islands in the east had once upon a time only Hindus in it.But now Hindus are there only in India that also approx 12.5% of total worlds population.The bitter experiences they had during the invaders reign had created such a comp[lex in them.Indias Hindu population includes Buddhists and Jains.Whole world used to laugh at hindus earlier also.World was earlier interested in India for the wealth she had and now for the vast market & business opportunities she is having(in either ways it is wealth) not for what we are.. Even though as Sharma told Pakistan is never going to sit on Indian head thats just a bad dream he had.
