If I can become PM,so can you: Manmohan tells kids

“So I think education has played a very important role in making me what I am,” the economist-turned-Prime Minister said during a talk organised by a TV channel with a group of children at his residence on the occasion of Children’s Day.

He was asked how an aam aadmi can become a Prime Minister.

Singh was dismissive of the opposition calling him a “weak” Prime Minister.

“It does not make much of a difference to me. I think if I am doing something right,then my conscience will tell me that. To criticise is the opposition’s job. I am not afraid of that,” he said.

Appearing relaxed,77-year-old Singh with his wife Gursharan Kaur seated by his side,answered with ease questions from children ranging from Maoists violence,coalition politics,move to abolish tenth board examination,poor students not getting education,his fondness for blue turban and his favourite sweet.
