What a shame..

What do u expect from a 78 yr old guy? He's not alert. It all shows how interested they are in their job. They want the position, status, etc. Not the responsibility that comes with.

MMS is what, 79? Krishna is 78, Pranab M is 77, Kerala and Tamilnadu CMs are 85+. What do u expect from these people? Will they take our country forward? No. Tamilnadu CM does not know what is goin on. Mentally he may be dead. But the people around him want to show piece him.

Also part of Congress culture which does not allow any one trying to be independent. Remember Rajesh Pilot before his death. Do you think Rahul is any smarter

It is very well known in the political circles of Karnataka - SMK's weakness for wine and women.

When he was the CM of Karnataka he and his brother had a permanent room in the 5 star hotel right across Raj Bhavan near Golf course.

He used to have movie actresses and models 24/7 at this location.

Hope he is not making mistakes in this hobby now a days.

India’s prime minister, Manmohan Singh, has today sadly displayed how weak he is in dealing with corruption at all levels of his coalition government. In a one-hour televised press conference with tv news channel editors, he admitted that he could not control all his ministers, and indirectly appealed to the media not to play up the many corruption scandals that are now being unearthed across the country.

There are two points here. Mr Singh has little control when choosing many of his ministers, and has limited control over what many of them do once they are appointed – as has been evident in a current multi-million dollar corruption scam over awarding of 2G telecom licences. Second, the government’s media relations are weak, which means that it is bad at managing India’s international image, which is currently being questioned because of corruption and ineffective governance.

“An impression has gone round that we are a scam-driven country and nothing good is happening in our country, that we are weakening the self-confidence of the people of India. I do not think that is in the interest of anyone in our country….This sort of atmosphere is not good. It saps our own self-confidence. It also spoils the image of India,” said Mr Singh, appearing to blame lack of objectivity in the media rather than the government’s failure to tackle issues for India’s corrupt image.

As Reuters’ correspondent Alistair Scrutton tweeted from Delhi just after Mr Singh had spoken, “Blaming media is often the action of a cornered leader. India’s PM has just done that by criticising coverage of the corruption scandals,” to which Andy Buncombe, The Independent’s Delhi correspondent replied “Didn’t Mubarak also blame the media?”.

Mr Singh of course is not nearly as vulnerable as Mr Mubarak was, nor is his democratically elected coalition government, and he had a good story to tell on the country’s strong 8-9% economic growth and moves to curb terrorism.. But a politician does neither himself nor his government any good by appearing in front of the media when he cannot stamp his authority on events. Mr Mubarak did not have that authority, when he appeared on tv the day before he was ousted, because of the crowds in Tahrir Square, especially at a time when international opinion had turned against him.

Mr Singh, who has been criticised for not speaking out earlier, does not have the authority because of the coalition weaknesses that he admitted. His authority is also weakened by the fact that he is not actually the head of the governing coalition – that mantle is held by the even more silent Sonia Gandhi, head of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty who is president of Mr Singh’s Congress Party. Sonia Gandhi calls the shots.

He is a shy (though sometimes stubborn) academic at heart, and is not a strong public performer when under pressure, as he showed today. This is the second time in a year that he has failed to run an adequate press conference. He did the same last May at a big media event, where he said virtually nothing new and developed no themes on major issues. It is unfair however just to blame Mr Singh, when it is Mrs Gandhi who ultimately calls the shots.

I am not shocked or surprised. I do not expect anything better from a corrupt and lame and luck foreign minister working under inefficient and corrupt prime minister i.e. MMS.

He who has not acquired one of the following: religious merit (dharma), wealth (artha), satisfaction of desires (kama), or liberation (moksa) is repeatedly born to die

In the same speech, he made another surprising statement:
"You have my assurance that at the end of this fiscal year, the inflation rate should come down to no more than 7%.".

I find it hard to believe that such a brilliant, world reknown and seasoned economist like MMS making this statement, knowing very well in his heart of hearts that it is not possible to achieve this target.
Whatever his shortcomings may be as a prime minister, politician and administrator, it cannot be denied that he is a seasoned economist - perhaps amongst the best in the world at this time.

Staking his personal assurance and reputation like this must show the incredible pressure and helplessness he is under.

The Wholesale Price Index in India is sitting around 15% right now. RPI and CPI are even higher, although the govt. don't report those officially.
Even if we take the WPI, I don't see how he can cut it in half in less than a year.

I'd speculate that regardless of what happens in the 2014 elections, this is MMS last time as prime minister and possibly last term as an MP.
