Manmohan will be the fall guy

The Pioneer > Online Edition : >> Manmohan will be the fall guy: "Manmohan Singh has achieved the distinction of being the longest serving Prime Minister of India after Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. For a man who was catapulted to the Finance Minister’s post by sheer good fortune in 1991, rising to the top political job and holding it uninterruptedly for six years is no mean achievement. While his effectiveness as a PM has been questioned and he has had to face taunts of being India’s “weakest PM”, no one has doubted his integrity. In an India where politics has come to be associated with disrepute and sleaze, Singh’s personal uprightness has been a redeeming feature. The country must truly be grateful that the only thing shady about 7 Race Course Road comes from the greenery."
