Everybody understands this PM is political nobody

He does what he is asked to by Sonia.

Neither Congress can project MMS as future PM. Its loosing massive ground for infkation, price rise and surrender to Islamic terrorism.

So, whatever congress does- keep MMS, keep Left Happy, sack MMS, or disconnect from Left- CONGRESS IS GOING TO PAY A HEAVY PRICE IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION.

Thathagatha, you are right about the political cost of inflation and price rise. MMS is a strategic thinker and we all praise the economic liberalisation due to which we have seen massive growth and investments in infrastructure. True leaders are ones who think long term. The nuclear deal is in India's interest and only a real leader can take up such risk. Inflation in India is far better compared to other nations, even Western countries. The only problem is that we do not have a solid social benefit system that can step in during such times.
As citizens, we also have our responsibilities to be prudent in our lifestyle habits and stop demanding that the Government meet our whims and fancies like cheap fuel, cheap food articles, and subsidise everything.
I can understand that it is difficult to win an election purely on the nuclear issue because people in the villages don't understand the impact of such deals. But at the same time, we cannot lose respect for MMS or back away from him on this one.

Credit for liberalization goes to PV Narshima Rao, because as a PM he gave political cover to MMS, his FM.

Now, even though MMS is PM of India, he could not do any liberalization, as Sonia is NOT giving him political cover.

So, THANKS PV NARSHMA RAO FOR LIBERALIZATION, NOT MM SINGH.

The current government has tactfully balanced continued growth in a liberalised economy and social schemes. If they were to completely control the economy, then you would surely feel the difference. Items that we now consider basic amenities would have been taxed higher to discourage spending and control inflation. Be grateful that private enterpreneurs can continue to operate without excessive government control.

We sure don't want political nobodys. We only need a good leader. PM Singh may not be politically adept. Some examples of political somebodys are Bal Thackeray, Jayalalitha, Deve Gowda, Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Karunakaran, and so many like them. Now choose whether you prefer one of them as PM or Dr. Manmohan Singhji. He took up the challenge and has been fairly successful. Inflation and price rise is something that the government can only control to some extent.
