Is this a Sardarji joke or is it that the Sardarji himself has now become a big joke?
Left was always Right. The Congress party's Trade Union (INTUC) always sabotaged the movement of working class. It was only due to consistent efforts of the Communists that the working class got a semblence of self-respect.

Mr JGN. The left opposed the bill to introduce performance based pay hikes for all government employees when it was part of UPA. If u think this bill wasnt good, you must be among those people who just want to laze around and be paid for it, while others do ur work. The left has always been a pioneer of trade unions and strikes. That is why after independence West Bengal which was the cradel of Art and Literature in India prior to independence is languishing behind while other states have progressed much ahead. Pls remove ur mindblock and comment from ur own knowledge and not from what u hear from others.

>>>>The left opposed the bill to introduce performance based pay hikes for all government employees when it was part of UPA........then why they did not get the same Bill passed with the support of SP and other parties like the dubious Nuclear if the same is such a boon to our Country??
>>>Bengal which was the cradel of Art and Literature.......art and literature had no value for a hungry person. You can give "art and literature" to a person starving for days together. Even G0d (if there is any) would not dare to appear in front of a hungry person except in the form of BREAD.

Apart from abuses very uncannily you did not deny that Dr. Singh is right. Funny. Can you deny what he said? No because the left parties have been the 'frog in the well' and by definition will always be.
The speaches of Congress party are always very slippery and of doubble standard.They are spoiling Manmohan Singh also. Though he has also lost his Image due to liars of congress, but we advice him to get rid of congress party otherwise his consceousness will bite him at the end of his life.

The above two are the eligibilities to become a politician. If you scrap the eligibility, then no-one will be there in politics..

True. Vote for candidates with proven integrety irrespective of their Political affiliation. Anyway they will enter into some unholy alliance after the election. Then why not vote for good candidates?
One argument in favour of Dr Manmohan Singh: 'The whole world loves him.' Now think further.
If you say to any other country's head that India loves you, he would definitely return pleasantries as a part of courtsey. Selling this for votes is like cheating ignorent people, and buying this is like cheating yourself.
Only tough leaders and diplomats can serve the interests of their countries (true for even developed countries), and they are never liked by the whole world.
The whole world likes you means you are suitable for their interests, possibly at the cost of your own country's interests - unless you are mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi who don't work for power.
On economic front:
Other economic giants, or fast growing countries do not need Pt Nehru, or Rajiv Gandhi or Dr Manmohan Singh to be on the path of growth.
Dr Singh is not a unique person qualified in economics. You will find several others who are better qualified than him but not in national limelight - just like Dr Singh was before 1991.
India got benefitted or affected more by the global opportunities and global factors than by the performance of Dr Singh (somewhat true for NDA also). It is only natural for an opportunist that he takes the credit for good things happening and blame global factors for bad situation.
Just a few things..
If you are under the foolish impression about Dr Manmohan Singh's strengths/weaknesses, it is not in yours and India's best interest

A agree to the fact that MMS is the most educated PM. But, obviously he is not a good leader. A good leader can make a difference even with ordinary people. Clear example is MS Dhoni! We all know how he has changed the fate of Indian cricket. The same thing Tendulkar could not do even though he is one of the best bestmans in the world. India needs a leader who can lead from the front. Not a weak PM who always has to wait for the green signals from others!! It is a shameful act for the digninity of our country. Definitely MMS will be a good professor on economics.

Your analysis is very poor, I don't belong to any party.... but definately Dr. Singh is the most qualified PM we had so far. Lets respect him.

MMS is very well qualified and deserves respect from one and all. However, that does not mean that he is a good Candidate to lead the Nation of 120 Crores! He has very poor personality and is always dependednt on Sonia who called the shots. for all practical purposes. Can the PM explain as to why Afzal Guru is being treated as a Guest of the Nation, when the Supreme Court has pronounced death penalty?? UPA, with highly qualified Economists, has driven the Nation to negative growth,high unemployment, pink slip syndrome, 50% people under BPL, terrorists striking at will, etc and does not deserve to come to power again. When the growth was good, the Govt was taking credits and when the growth slipped the same Govt blames the Global Melt down. In 2004, MMS in a Public address in Mumbai siad that his Govt would transform Mumbai to Shanghai. Whereas, during the last 5 years, Mumbai has been converted to Greater Dharavi.

He sold out Country to the USA under a dubious Nuclear Deal. Read CAG's report on the issue.
The same PM had declared communists as patriots in 2004 while taking their support. And he will say that again after elections if he needs Left support again.
Dr Singh himself (or atleast his supporters) claimed that he could not implement economic reforms due to Left's opposition. Nothing can be expected from him if he contunues as PM since he will certainly need Left support again - if at all UPA is in position to form the govt.

There is nothing wrong with PM's statement. A true leader should always move according to timely facts. Left was okay then. Left is bad now. We will wait for tomorrow.
Re: Re: PM may declare Lefts as patriots again!
by JGN on Apr 11, 2009 08:57 PM
>>>Left was okay then.....when?? Did the event of 1942 or 1962 take place yesterday??
Re: Re: PM may declare Lefts as patriots again!
by JGN on Apr 11, 2009 08:52 PM
Prakash, he remembered the events of 1942 only in 2009?? Why the he11 he took their support for four and a half years?
Re: Re: PM may declare Lefts as patriots again!
by Observer on Apr 11, 2009 08:59 PM
The problem is that he will be stuck again with Left support and not be able to move in timely manner.
And he himself is stuck with own inertia and not able to move forward beyond Gujrat-2002, Kandahar episode, Parliament attack, etc. NDA govt had taken all out offensive against terrorism post these episodes which started showing results in 2002-2003. UPA has only abandoned journey against terrorism.

Observer, the only have the mistakes of others to point out. They do not have any achievement that they can show to the people of our Country.
MMS is a ROBOT. Please watch him correctly, the way he waves his hand looks like a robot every time. MMX is a ROBOT controled by SONIA matha. DO we need a PM like MMS?
The PM is right in his assessment of the Left. But, what does it speak about the Congress itself that they had to beg and take support from such a group?? The argument of "keeping the BJP" out does not hold water. It just clearly indicates that the Congress wanted to have power and for that purpose they did not mind bending quite a bit to take the support of the Left.
