If everyone knows things weren't right in the UPA 2 the honorable PM should have resigned. He would have redeemed himself unfortunately he has made out a poor case not only about himself but about his party as well. The collateral damage remains to the benefit of Modi led BJP. The Gandhi's are guilty of destroying the country and the party.

He saw how PV was tortured and didn’t want that happen to him. PV was a lion.

Today modi really praised him in rajya sabha, 3 best congress pm-Lal Bahadur Shastri, pv Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh in first term, none of their achievements ever endorsed by anyone in congress, that's is where modi pounce on them, his attack always been on Nehru and his clan

[kek]

My God this really bring me back to the jorrible days of congress. Never agian can we allow these people back into power!

[eklavyajain]

Current PM Modi today praised him today in Rajya sabha, but what disappointed me that people from congress were not even applauding that, seems like without permission from the family, no one is allowed to even applaud even when former PM from their own party is being praised.
This family has destroyed Congress, India deserved a strong opposition but you all know why we don't have that.
Some of other reasons include horse trading etc but main reason is this family.

The level of damage congress party done to the nation is completely unfathomable

[reel_man]

Not a BJP supporter but After listening to this, I'm totally convinced that Congress really needed to lose its status.

[sahil.tripathi]

The more I get to know how things were run in UPA years the more I understand exactly why they're where they are and even more do I shudder to vote for them until they mend their ways by leaps and bounds.

It’s a shame what Congress did to the office of PM. A foreign origin person was the de-facto ruler of India. Indias first Sikh PM was reduced to a pitiable caricature. The lessons here — There should be no political party in India wedded to any one family. And the Sonia-Rahul duo should not be allowed anywhere near power.

As a Mumbaikar, I'm happy that Mumbai Accounts for 33% of Direct taxes collected by The Centre, Coz They are Going to Mass INFRA Projects & Well- Executed Welfare Schemes, Maharashtrians & Gujaratis(Who contribute LIONS SHARE of all Taxes) doesn't Have the GHAMAND like Southern Anti-BJP Political Leaders who keep on Demanding unnecessary funds for Freebies and Pandering to Separatist Politics, The Transfer of Taxes from Rich Regions to Poor Regions happen in Almost Every Country on Earth, From California to Alabama in USA, from Baden to Brandenburg in Germany and From London to North England in UK etc

Seeing a party undercut its own Prime Minister is truly unfortunate. Leadership thrives when supported, especially when it embodies intellect, selflessness, and integrity. 🇮🇳

Manmohan Singh made a joke of himself and the chair of PM. Undoubtedly he is a knowledgeable man, having no bad intentions but he remained silent even when the whole India wanted him to rise above petty politics. We don’t need such people at helm. They are good for policy making suggestions but not for big decisions. No disrespect to the man and his service to the nation.

[GururajBN]

Your sympathy on Manmohan Singh is wasted. What stopped him from resigning and giving a shock treatment to the family and the congress party? I think that he had been seduced by the glamour, status and apparent power of his office.

His tenure of ten years was a great disservice to the dignity of the post Indian PM. Modi has restored the sheen of the PM’s post.

[harminderkaur]

He loved HUMILIATION over his job, like ordinary person, who is always afraid, he was slur on Sikhs, enjoyed serving perpetrators of 1984, he is protector of corrupt & criminal

[pbk-varma]

The worst issue with Dr. Singh administration was every ministry is working in autonomous mode with the respective minister considering himself the PM of India. Basically many PM’s are running the govt simultaneously leading to corrupt practices along with coalition partners, with DMK the best example.

[deeell]

Dr. Manmohan Singh has always National Interest in his mind however, he could not Cut the Clutter The Gandhis

[sridharmahalingam]

As a retd GOI auditor I will say MNREGA is the worst poverty alleviation programme because it not only encouraged corruption but created problem for agricultural operations. It's sad Modiji is still continuing with MNREGA. Hope it will be discontinued when Modiji wins 2024 comfortably.

[atokimruk]

Why not call a spade a spade ? Why all this round about. Manmohan Singh was a pupette. He was a remote controlled PM with the remote in the hands of the Italian family of Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka Robert.

[akshytube]

Just to keep your bosses(Sonia and RG) happy now you have started to find faults MMS.

[padmac]

I am one of those who believe Dr Singh was honest to the core and of course an intellectual.The so called high command with the power it wielded then would not have hesitated to threaten him and his family with physical harm, maybe even death.I honestly think that factor alone forced him to carry on and I’m sure all of Lutyens knew this but protected themselves too by remaining silent
