To mark his present term as a failure (till date) would be an over statement but not 100% false. Dr. Manmohan Singh has all it takes to be a good economist but he has forgotten that good economics is bad politics. Or maybe he doesn't have a say in the working of the present government as it's all messed up unlike the previous 5 years. Either he is ignoring the fact that we are not a developed nation and social buffering is required by our economy (like a baby needs the mother's milk) or he is busy defending his minister's actions be it good or bad or worse (wonder why Sharad Pawar is still the agriculture minister) for the sake of keeping the numbers on UPA's side.
Raising the price of oil was the last thing a semi-socialist govt can do when the food inflation is up at 19% already and half of the nation's population is not even getting the basic food elements in their diet.
Leaving economics on a side where is our PM when nation faces challenges like Naxalism or attack on it's citizens else where in the world? Why can't he be the face of the govt and address the nation?
I feel his intentions can't be wrong but being good at heart doesn't win you praises. He has to perform and perform well on the platform.(I hope I get to write something good about him the next time)

good to see you writing back after a long time. it is evident that you are a Manmohan Singh fan, but it is very clear to me that he is just a rook on the political chessboard of the Italian lady.
