What a fall....during nuclear debate he was hero. After elections he was called 'Singh is King' by same TV channels who suddenly started campaign against corruption couple of months before C'wealth games. What those channels were doing, seeing and waiting for 4years when so much public wastage was being done in full view. They were probably waiting for some booty to land in their laps till very last days . When it didn't come their way, corruption became an issue larger than routine governance which is to be sacrificed.
Had the lead TV channels spearheading present movement, started the campaign when all of were watching it happen, it could have stopped much damage early. Illegality of Govt. Servent's deeds only can't be termed corruption. Mafia like vice over public expenditure by private institutions is much bigger form of corruption. NGOs, media houses, listed companies, service industry all are sucking the nation dry. It is these who send allurments to those in govt who are morally weak and corrupt. Irony would be if genuine and impartial Lokpal is ever created , first one to be behind bars might turn out to be those who are appearing loudest supporters of present chaos on streets.
Manmohan Singh is Prime Minister of this nation who led his party to win last election and most of those voted for UPA voted because of him and for his clean and efficient image. If one is not good public speaker he can't be called joker as some had been calling him on social media circles. Many are cracking Sardar jokes on him. That way, the one who sells chooran in state transport buses should be PM for no one would match his eloquence.
There are political formations where public speaking is taught in their regular doctrinal classes but that does not make them national leader despite their attempts to wriggle in to power with help of disgruntled friends. Ask some one from up north what used to mean by 'bangala' and 'bangalan' not very long ago, but we should not call Pranab or Mamta that way. Why Sardar should be a joker?
I am proud of Manmohan Singh for his intellectual supriority and human maturity and also because he is Sikh.
