This is what Time magazine has come up with- PM is a man in shadow ,lacks self confidence , unable to stand firm and take any major decisions in the interest of the country.No one knows who is governing the country !

Everybody knows that Sonia Gandhi has made him PM.
So,whatever Sonia tells he does.

What a way to run a country ! Honestly, it looks as if we are going back to the old times when Kings and autocrats ruled their kingdom as they wanted..

It is indeed a ridiculous way to run a country! Usha, do you know the term "Banana Republic"? Its a term that was used to describe many countries in the North Africa where there were constant political upheavals and any fool with a gun in his hand could rule the country for at least a few days, until another man with gun shot him down! Probably I am exaggerating in describing the term, but you get the idea!

The point of all this banter is, if things keep happening as they are now, we not a long way from turning into a Banana Republic!

Our PM was one of the good finance minister and under his leadership lots of changes came.
But when became PM,lots of wrong things happen.

Kalyani, that's exactly what I thought, that we too are becoming exactly like our lawless neighbors.
In a way I do feel sorry for Manmohan Singh , who is himself a decent person, caught up in such a situation !

Time magazine evaluation is very objective and correct. So far as criticism against it of being foreign,I really don't agree. Many of our newspapers and magazines do undertake such exercises and there is absolutely nothing wrong in it. Mr Singh with all his erudition and scholarship has compromised his position glaringly to remain anchored as Prime Minister. As an eminent economist he should be asking his conscience if he delivered on promised he made as Finance Minister and Prime Minister!
