OOPS!!! It’s time to pack up!

I am an Indian. I have every right on earth to have my own doubts and queries in this democratic country. I don’t believe the PM is a corrupt man as Team Anna claims. But like most Indians I think he is past his expiry date. His critics were saying so. Now his defenders are saying the same thing. It seems, there is nothing more that he can contribute to our political discourse.  It’s best for the nation that someone more capable steps in who can control the corrupt ministers from dipping into public funds for personal gain.

Our “respected” PM suffers from Willful Blindness. He sees what’s happening around him and pretends to be unaware of it all. Point out a wrongdoing to him and his first reaction is to look away. He is convicted that what he does not see, does not exist. It can be CRIME or CORRUPTION, INJUSTICE or HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION, he can just ignore anything by just shutting his eyes.

While this attitude may be good for his head and soul, I am sure it does NO good to the nation. The opposition is no good either. I don’t grudge anyone!!! All I ask is for better people in the government who can take India ahead. Wasting time with minor policy changes can achieve NOTHING. What we need is more definitive action and zero tolerance towards crooks.

The PM visualizes himself as a Super Finance Minister and THAT IS IT! He is neither interested in Science nor Technology. Arts and culture seems to be things he knows not of. He has never involved himself in Education or Medicare. Justice and Human Rights don’t matter to him. Nor do issues of Environment or Public Health. In short, none of the real issues matter to him. So people with actual problems have stopped approaching him.

The joke is that the one area where Singh is focused is where everything’s going wrong. One stupid decision after another has killed the economy. Foreign investors have fled because of a series of incredibly foolish steps taken within a short span that have driven the rupee down from Rs 44 to the $ to Rs 56. Not only have foreign investors fled, even Indian businessmen are relocating since no one feels secure in an environment where the Government and its agencies can harass anyone they want on the flimsiest grounds. B raping the rupee they have also destroyed our savings, reduced our wages and raised inflation to scary heights.

And what is being done to correct this? Fuel prices are raised every few months. There are talks about more taxes. WE who were once claiming to be a Super Power are on the verge of becoming Super POOR.

By trying to control social media and ban everything in sight, from cartoons in text books to films, music, art, books, public performance, internet sites the Government is damaging the country’s credibility every day.

Is this the LEGECY, what do Manmohan Singh wants to leave behind? An economy in coma, a harassed citizenry, the media under siege, our savings gone, and India’s fabulous growth story now a distant memory.
