Character of Dr. Manmohan Singh |
||||
by BS Murthy |
![]() |
|||
In his belated address to the nation on the debatable economic measures ushered in by him or ordained by the bossy Sonia, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh usurped the 1991 economic reforms that were in deed fathered by PV Narasimha Rao. And to the observant Indians, that was true to Manmohan Singh’s character. But what the wily Manmohan did? When his mentor was in the political dumps, he had visualized greener pastures for himself in the shade of Sonia’s Bofor’s tainted pallu.
What to make out of all that? If he was secretly coveting the gaddi while publicly averring that he was not up to the mark, then he is cunningly self-serving. And if he genuinely believed that he is not a “prime ministerial material” and still had taken up the job, then he is morally dishonest. Either way, he’s not a man of intellectual integrity and the country is paying the price for having him at the helm of affairs. Maybe, he does not covet money for himself but he serves Sonia’s covetous cause. Juxtapose the film actress turned politician Jayaprada, who stood by her mentor Amar Singh when he fell foul with Mulayam Singh and was on the verge of oblivion. Well, character is all about the morality of the mind, isn’t it? |
