Manmohan did a job as expected...what was crucial that he had a master who supported and did something what Independent India never did before..open up economy. Just see same Manmohan being controlled by Ms. Maino is just hopeless who cant even control basic fiscal parameters...so if you vote for Manmohan its Mr. Rao whom you are actually thanking.
OVER THE YEARS WE HAD VERY BRILLIANT FINANCE MIMISTERS WHO HAVE STEERED THE ECONOMY IN RIGHT DIRECTION. I RATE MAMMOHAN SINGH,PRANAB MUKHERJEE, CHIDAMBARAM,JASWANT SINHA AND MDHU DANDAVATE VERY HIGHLY FOR THEIR DEEP INSIGHT,PRESERVING INDEPENDENE,HONESTY AND THINKING OUT OF THE BOX.
I know Manmohan Singh did open up the economy,,but Yeshwant Sinha and AB Vajpayee led NDA govt did great deal for economy by tacking initiatives that were long awaited. Also, external affairs helped in bringing foreign business. It was this time when telecommunication and broadcasting received great boom. In addition to that fighting almost a war war against Pak (Kargil conflict 1999) the economy was stable enough to fund a military situation.

indians are not blind to economy on streets and only open to stories in paid media. with all the glitter, things are worse than before we opened.
the best FM was Morarji Desai in 60's & then H.M. Patel turned out to be of equal level.He was FM during Janata rule when Mr. Desai was the PM. Mr. Patel successfully controlled the finance, badly ruined by Gandi govt.

BJP would have crashed on the same path like congress because Congress did not alter the BJP path.
tunjus stole all the incomplete blue-prints from BJP and gave it to tunju MMS and Montek. The reason BJP blue-prints were incomplete because Atal and FM wanted to slurp all the credit for someone else's efforts. the genuine people backed out.
the fact is growth for all bad reasons happened when BJP came to power (and not before), since MMS blindly aped BJP policies, he paid the price and here it is again.
" growth of black money, they call it growth
MMS is a over-hype by shameless tunjus.
Growth never happened until bjp arrived and then this uncontrolled growth of money led to hyper-inflation called the black money growth.
----- It is all because MMS aped BJP policies blindly. ------ SAD STATE OF VOTERS who living on lies pumped by paid media. "

Partly right. MMS has turned out a copy cater. BJP has been the original for free nationalist economy while MMS was for a socialistic pattern which has proven to be a failure.Had the originals (BJP here) controlling the economy, they would have improved a lot, the same way as Mr. Modi has progressed in Gujarat.

Nobody from the list suits for the best Finance Minister award. I think if A. Raja becomes Finace minister, he may be suitable for the award since he is experienced in dealing with crores of money and how to hide it.

Forget about the spelling error. But Dr.Manmohan Singh has the distinction of being the finance minister who changed the face of India.
When he got home he couldn't tell his wife that he had spoken on sex, so he said he had discussed horseback riding with the members. A few days later, she ran into some men at the shopping center and they complimented her on the speech her husband had made.
She said, "Yes, I heard. I was surprised about the subject matter, as he's only tried it twice. The first time he got so sore he could hardly walk, and the second time he fell off."
