Success, it is said, has a thousand fathers. Corollary to that statement will be the one about failure being an orphan. With things going badly on all front, the internal fissures in the UPA are coming to the fore. While few are attacking the PM, internal bickering is become intense. It is obvious to most that Manmohan Singh is a one dimensional leader (word leader being used in a spirit of generosity), ineffective on most fronts. How will he function at all with people directly or indirectly gunning for him? And things are this bad with the opposition in a total disarray. God forbid, if the BJP got their act together, the GOI will come to a total halt. The next elections are still four extremely long years later. How is the aam aadmi supposed to wait that long for respite? If this were England, we could have replaced the current man by another. Blair made way for Brown and then Brown got ousted by Cameron. In our case, MMS may get replaced by Rahul baba whose only qualification is good looks and the right family. Is this what it has come to now? The only people speaking against all this are the internet newspapers and op-ed writers or the good people at the Daily Pioneer. The rest of the mainstream media is busy trying to divert the attention of the public from the problems to the ghost of "Hindu Terrorism". The whole neighborhood is in flames and these people are blaming the pothole. Wake up!!!!!!!!!! At this rate, we may not have a country to love and fight for anymore.

The past comes to haunt Manmohan Singh in the present, says N.V.Subramanian.
19 July 2010: In the contexts of India's disastrous Pakistan diplomacy, Manmohan Singh's uncontrolled rightist economic policies, and a zero strategy for Maoism and tribal unrest, this writer remembers a conversation with a well-networked politician some time after the successful 5-July Bharat Bandh.
The Bandh owed its success to the Left and the Right coming together without necessarily compromising on their individual core ideologies. Unlike most of the rest of the media, this writer believed that the Congress party, after remaining in denial about the Bandh's success, would get a measure of the reality, and so it has, although it is not getting a full play in the press.
