Thus, while all Prime Ministers of the proverbial Regency period ââ¬â and these include Rao and the present incumbent ââ¬â are answerable for all their actions, the monarchical Prime Ministers are above all scrutiny. Rao can be blamed for the events leading up to the demolition of the Babri shrine in Ayodhya but it just wonââ¬â¢t do to extend the responsibility to the man who overturned the Shah Bano verdict and ensured the opening of the locks of the disputed place of worship. Manmohan Singh can be blamed for policies that contributed to the steep rate of inflation but it is the height of impertinence to suggest that the Congress presidentââ¬â¢s programme of profligate spending had anything to do with the mess in public finances. Sonia Gandhi, as we have seen, is never wrong; at best she is occasionally ââ¬Ëmisledââ¬â¢.
Today, Manmohan Singh is basking in the thrill of political longevity and enjoying the public rewards of personal integrity. He would do well to live for the present. The Congressââ¬â¢ own history wonââ¬â¢t be so kind to his record. Like Rao, he is destined to be the fall guy because the Queen and her family can do no wrong. http://www.dailypioneer.com/276258/Manmo...l-guy.html
