At every opportunity, Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi says that Manmohan Singh is a strong leader. They back themselves by saying that Manmohan Singh is intelligent, can understand the things about economics and science, etc.
But my argument is their are millions in india who are as much intelligent, honest, and all as he is but is that sufficient to make him a good leader. I certainly doubt it. I agree that MMS in honest and intelligent, but so are millions of other indians but these are not the only qualities required in a leader. There are many other important qualities like courage, good communication skills, ability to talk to world leaders, ability to show solidarity with people of the country in the need of hour like when terror struck, and many more. Does MMS has these qualities?
Anybody who has seen him in last five years can tell you the answer. Every time he talks to the media, he seems to be in his own world. He doesn’t seem to be addressing the people of his nation. He always seems to be talking to himself. He has no control over anybody in the govt. rather he is controlled by others. I strongly believe he doesn’t deserve to be the prime minister of this nation. We certainly deserve better.
And when I say that I don’t want Manmohan Singh as our prime minister, I also don’t want someone like George W. Bush who has courage, but not respectful to others, not humane. My definition of a good leader may be Barack Obama who is strong yet respectful to others, a good human being. In india it may be Sonia Gandhi, LK Advani, P. Chidambaram, Pranav Mukherjee, Arun Jaitley, Prakash Karat, or Nitish Kumar.
