    Congress ruined Manmohans Image in India. From succefull economist, he turned into a failure PM just because he was used as Bali Ka Bakra by Madam just to set path and clear the chair for Pappu when he matures and then throw MMS to bin. But Pappu failed miserably to mature and final people of India threw Mother & son Duo to the bin.

    Congratulations Your Excellency Dr Manmohan Singh. You have made the Nation proud. Such are the honourable people the Congress gifts to the Nation to Serve with Love, Honesty, dedication, knowledge and Grace. Let those in other political parties learn instead of craving for position to serve the nation and making empty speeches. Less words and more work has paid off.
