10 year gone waste.. 

I have my reservations against the congress government but if I step out of my shoes and look back at a government, helmed by an academic, intellectual for 10 years, my question would be: where was Manmohan singh all this years?

Where were You Mr. Singh, when the chairman of the planning commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia , made the most blunt statement of the century, that the level of poverty in India was 22% based on per capita spending of Rs. 33 a day in cities and Rs 27 a day in rural areas. Mr Singh, aren’t you an economist or a common man like me has to tell you that the measurement of poverty is not based on some formulas but linked to a decent and dignified life style.

Where were you Mr Singh, when P.J Thomas was appointed the Chief Vigilance commissioner of India, a decision invoked on partisanship; For as a commoner, I am aware  that this post has been all this years selected based on a consensus of political parties, and success of democracy is the bipartisanship attitude practiced at the helm of affairs. Mr Singh, by supporting this decision, you have discoursed from the democratic norms set forth by your ancestors.

Where were you Mr Singh, when scandals were galore in this country —2G, Coalgate, Adarsh Housing Society, Commonwealth, S-band, gas pricing and so on such that even files attributing to the various  scandals were replaced from your own office. In spite of being a renowned economist with a global rapport, India was reeling under the worst inflation under your tenure
