Till a few months ago, it seemed that Manmohan Singh could do no wrong. He was the darling of the middle class, chatteratti, media and foreign Heads of the State.
Suddenly, everyone has found out MMS could do no right. He is held accountable for 2 G Scam, ISRO Scam, Black Money Scam, Inflation, Food prices etc. etc.
I hold no brief for MMS. In fact, I had been a trenchant critic of his lack of leadership and governance.
But, somehow, when the media, most of whom are on the payrolls of Congress, starts upping the ante against the PM, one sees a sinister hand behind this.
No one accuses MMS of corruption. Ineffective - yes, Weak - yes, US Centric - yes, Incompetent - yes, Lacks leadership - yes, Personally Corrupt -No.
Compare this with the Congress Party headed by Sonia. Everyone knows that they take a huge slice of all corrupt deals in this country and that Sonia has dubious links with many, and is accused of siphoing off money abroad.
Thus, when one scandal after another hit the Government, it was obvious that fingers will be pointed not at MMS, who is personally clean, but at Sonia, whose reputation is not squeaky clean.
Hence the orchestrated campaign to discredit the Prime Minister, for the queen must be saved at all costs.
And in the bargain, another non-Nehru-Gandhi PM is put in the bad light, perpetuating the myth that only the dynasty can rule India.
Such are the crooked thinking of the Congress.
