If Manmohan Singh's personal image is reasonably unsullied despite his obvious lack of qualification for the position he holds, it is because he is not regarded as a cynical, manipulative politician. In fact, many Congressmen believe he has not grown out of the bureaucratic mindset he inculcated serving the Finance Ministry during the Indira Gandhi era. They also say he has little political foresight, leave alone having a finger on the pulse of the popular mood. All political responses emanating from the Akbar Road headquarters of the Congress party are, therefore, attributed to the occupant of the neighbouring bungalow that bears a Janpath address. So it is intriguing that on something as politically complex as the nuclear Deal, it is the Prime Minister's doggedness that triumphed over the party's collective wisdom. By Chandan Mitra

if the UPA government wins this trust vote and if OIL prices fall down as expected by many eminent economists, government can very well cut down retail fuel prices, RBI can cut down reverse repo and repo rate and loan interests might come down and so on and government can once again become the hero.

I think, if non-performing Congress-led govt survives by fraudism (by purchasing MPs), and they sign the deal againt the nation and majority peoples wish, then US will shower milk and honey over India for eternity. MM Singh is a loyal servent to the est, he can do anything for them. Only he needs few honorary degrees and awards. A British Univ decorated him with honorary doctor degree and he praised the British for invading colonising and ruling us 200 years. Such is the self-respect of this so-called honest man. It is cruel joke, he is honest. How can an honest person cheated President Kalam to dissolve Bihar assembly? How could an honest person bulldoze a calndestine deal, when majority of the parliament members and people oppose it? Those who call this man honest, first must learn the meaning of the word honesty and practice it.
