Dear Rajdeep,
This article of you is no different from the kind of reporting you and your fellow teammates resort to through CNN-IBN or IBN7.
Coming to the matter, I doubt if you'ld find any educated or I would rather say thinking, as you too are educated, man would say that MM is dishonest or his integrity is doubtful. You'ld not find such person from opposition party too. That's creditable.
However, the point remains, who is more important? MM as PM or MM as a person? Let's accept the fact that he is the weakest and non-performing of all PMs (please do not count Chandashekhar and Devegowda as PMs. They were bad accidents happened to Indian democracy. I hope this would not happen again as Lallu or Bahanji.). I am unable to recall any single project, which could have changed the life or people (I mean positively. He did change lives and I would come to that shortly). Now, help in naming a single project initiated by the previous government, whom I regard quiet productive, which MM has been able to complete. As far as I remember, that govt. started ambitious projects on highway developments, upgrade of ports, privatization of monolith PSUs, etc. Even this nuclear power initiative was taken by that govt. And, what did MM’s contribution on them? Highways are still under construction (check NHAI’s website. They have not been updating progress on highway projects. Perhaps they do not have update to showcase). Nothing is ever heard of on port-sector in last 3-4 years (except sometimes in PC’s budget speeches). Privatization is stopped. Nuclear deal is diluted (it seems). Then what did he do? Repealed POTA and led the nation to multiple serial attacks? I would not hold him responsible for inflation but the pointers were there since many months. Couldn’t he, as an economist, and his trusted PC, another economist, learn and take any counter measure? Sure, we are better off right now. But for how long? After all we have not done, neither doing anything to bell this cat, except our leadership coming up with age-old and shameful reasons like profit-seeking behavior of private sector and hoarding of food items by traders, and above all high pay-package of some set of people, who constitute some less than 0.01% of our population. I am failing to understand that who had stopped and has been stopping MM’s men to act if they knew of these reasons?
I would rate MM as a worse PM than PVNR. At least that fellow has a clear-cut agenda that he would be there as a PM for one full-term and he had no qualms about that. He never pretended anything else. He did not act any many things because he need not, to fulfill his agenda. Our economy did recover under his leadership and under MM’s guidance. But, in those circumstances, I unable to guess what any other FM would have done, or if anybody else were made FM, if he/she would have acted differently? Though he had his shares of stupidities, he did not do something as stupid as waiving of farm loans worth Rs 60000Cr. See what has happened as an effect of that? So called farmers have stopped paying. So call gainers are still committing suicide. And, banks have officially declared stopping fresh loans to farmers. Great. That’s the greatest achievement of MM. If not for anything else, he would be known for this great act. Some intelligent people, you too are counted in them, say that his hands are tied. Come on. That’s another stupid reason. If your hands are tied, you do stupidities? Only fools and weak people do that. And, that is what MM is. He is weak. A strong man would never stoop to accept these stupidities and would stand up to the consequences. MM cannot. He is too weak to act so, to SG/RG first, and then to Commies. Btw, did you report how and why new Hyderabad International Airport got its name?
So Mr. Rajdeep your analysis is all wrong, or all made up. Do justice to your profession. I hope you know of consequences of something called “Yellow journalism”.
Let’s see if you respond to this.
