"Finally, consider Manmohan Singh. His credibility lies in his convictions and his capacity for upholding them. Yet at this most crucial test he%u2019s crumbled. Convenience has replaced commitment. But, actually, it%u2019s even worse. Although a political novice, we admired him because of the difference. So if the deal is lost I could have sworn he would resign. Yet, even that he now seems unwilling to do. The lure of office has turned the amateur into a professional politician! I%u2019m reminded of what Sitaram Yechuri said to me in 2004. The Left, he claimed, saw itself as the watchdog of the government. It would bark and, if need be, even bite. Three years later the roles have reversed. The government has transformed into Mr. Karat%u2019s poodle."
Shame on MMS for selling the country short to save his Sonia appointed job!

That even a journalist of Karan Thapar's calibre is able to name and shame ManMoron Singh is really a low point for ManMoron.
The same Karan Thapar & Co, have been treated as jokers and idiots by Narendra Modi at various fora.

Dutta ji, MMS was a govt Babu. Througout his life he remained a slave of Govt. This the reason that he praised East India Company and British Raj!
If u remeber correctly then his actions when his mentor Narsimha Rao died speaks of his real character. Just to please his present master i.e. Sonia he remained a mute spectator on that occasion.
