But does he have the strength of character to put all he has learned into practise for the benefit of millions of indians?? or will he end up as yet another sycophant of sonia gandhi remains to be seen

        Under Congress the Indian economy has boomed and there has been less communal riots. At the same time ethnic riots and terrorrism has increased and he is a bit soft person.

        BJP govt was a uselss govt. They couldn't even prevent a riot. my god!!

          Dont make rash statements. Dont simply go by words.. U ever heard shivraj patil or any of the senior congress leader in an interview...When ever any question on development is put to them.. They simply say i dont have the information... or it will be done (they never commit by when) And all their answers end with whatever soniaji says... its a democracy goddamnit...India is not a inherited territory of gandhi family.... And rahul gandhi... he never didn any job in life.. didnt finish even his graduation properly...Check out what priyanka did with an employee of gir forest gujarat... (simply bcoz he didnt arrange for her visit properly) check out what she did with someone who simply misspelled her title as vadera instead of vadra...

          Quottrochi account was unsealed and thousands of crorers of tax payers money went wooosh........1984 sikh riots report was kept in a refigerator for long and all tehy said at the end was sorry... did they hand or jailed any politician involved????

          Why dont your dear PM pass a bill in the parliament barring criminals from contesting elections... why was the bill rejected??? and the president sent it back for reconsideration.. did they even pay attention to it???

          And u r talking of the economy booming... It could be hedge funds dear.. SEE the history of Thailand russia and malaysia b4 u get too ecstatic about booming economy. I hope we dont face the similary situation.

          Dont just go by sweet words... See the ground realities...i am not for and against any person..But u really think that a person who cant think for himself at the moment can think for the whole country...

          Does anyone in the congress party ever said that he s a better person then sonia gandhi is?? She is not half as educated as him..Just ask any congress man and you know what answer will u get...

          I am not saying BJP or any other govt was great... But do we have to make a chocie between worse or worst... And if someone is worse and simply not worst .. should we praise him and applaud him or vote for him????

          Why dont we ask these questions ot outselves...

            all the parties are bad. YOu know what according to me all these politicians should land in jail.

            ON second thought they are bringing our country down. Lack of actions.

            Now seriously i have to make my own party which will be a real working party. It will be first party to not support corruption and work for the development of India.

            Anyone willing to join me??? Rohit khaitan, its nice to hear your opinion. hey what do you think should be done. all the political parties are bad. You think if a new politicals party has money it has chance to win.

              parties are bad but we have to do with them. all we can say is point at the govt. and admonish them but we don't know the real situation really well at all. we should complain about them only after we have been in their shoes and handled the tense and delicate situations effectively.

                I agree on this with u miqsh that we have to be in their shoes. We all have our limitations and we all make mistakes. But the important question that we have to ask is whether it was a mistake or was it an intent to decieve. And whenever we see ulteriror motives, be it an indivdiual or organisation, we have every right to question them and severly take them to task. With great power comes great responsibility. And these people do not even know their responsibilities in teh first place. They are a 100 yr old political party that still wants to run the govt the way indira gandhi did during emergency. Modern times demand fresh air. We cant accpet corruption as a part fo life. we cant let the govt devide us. We cant take tomorow as an answer for when the work will be done.... We the common men are working hard and sweating it all out. And if we entrust them our hard earned money its definitely not to be given away to quottrochi.

                In my opinion first of all we have to work on our level. Dont vote for cong or bjp. vote for the candidate. If u do that there will be no shahbuddins and arun gawli coming to power. secondly dont give votes to any govt bcoz any govt offers u reservations or free electricity.. (remember nothing comes for free in life) Thirdly dont deviate from the topic. If narendra modi says what he did after godhra was right, we all know it was wrong wrong wrong.. If some m.p. supports killing of a danish cartoonist bcoz he drew some stupid cartoons the m.p.. is wrong wrong and wrong. If any mullah takes away the liberty or woman he is taking away her right to freedom and its wrong... if congress men killed sikhs it was wrong..

                To sum it up look at issues objectively and not subjectively. Give ur opinions on issues and not individuals. Its not the individual but what he does that is right or wrong.. Dont support bjp or congress of bsp. support or condemn what they do or say..

                Once we clear our mind of these clouds everything will fall in place..Dont use corruption to get ur small tasks done. Instead ask the person straight on his face. why??? if he does something wrong. Do not hesitate to call a spade a spade. We do not have to be diplomatic all the time. sometimes we have to straight and ruthless.

                I will appreciate inputs from u guys as well.. a differnet perspective is always welcome.

                  Dr. singh is best .
                  Some may not like the congress party..but how cud anyone not like a professional like Dr. Singh in the PM's Post .
                  Manmohan is not an indian politician, he is an indian economist.
                  if india had a presidential system..and if DR.Singh was elected as the president..............der goes my dreams

                    So alpha if hes the best economist why he failed to force the states to remove octroi once the VAT was applicable..

                    VAT is a unified tax and i am sure the best economist knows it


                    I am also sure that the best economist also knows that all students should be given equal opportunity. And 50 percent quota centainly does not mean equality. So mr. arjun singh is taking the decision without his consent???

                    And why did the best economist stopped the bill for liberalisation of farm sector after he had almost drafted it and finalised it on just one letter from soniaji.

                    And u know what.... after a few days soniaji will stand up and say that there will be no reservations or lesser percentage of reservation in iims and iits and medical colleges. And she will be projected as a heroine.. And ur best economist will again proove to be sycophant...

                      WEll instead of seeing what he cannot do we have to compare his works with other prime minister.

                      But who do you think is the worst prime minister in India's history.

                      I think its Jawaharlal Nehru. I will give you the reasons later. But if you say that he's good you have to show his works.

                      ok.

                      I will tell you why he's bad later.

And she will be projected as a heroine.. And ur best economist will again proove to be sycophant...
                          If the decision making power is given fully to manmohan,he will choose the best among alternative choices..but unfortunately he is a puppet...he was nowere in politics when he was asked to become the PM by sonia, he is much more into his profession as an economist rather than in politics. He and our President is a dream combination to lead our nation....
                          But Parlimentary politics is much more than this,especially in a divided country like india
                          Good economics is bad politics

                          """And u know what.... after a few days soniaji will stand up and say that there will be no reservations or lesser percentage of reservation in iims and iits and medical colleges. And she will be projected as a heroine.. """"""""

                          if this happens sonia's image will sink in the minds of the OBC's. So i dont think its a crafted plan to boost sonia's image.

                            Can any one force u to be ur slave unless u let him/ her use u???

                            A man is not a man if he cant stand up for his values and becomes a mere puppet in the hands of someone else..

                            And if hes such a mortal he has no right to be the PM and take decisions that concerns the lives of 100 crore indians.
