Manmohan weakest PM ever

Advani said Singh happens to be the weakest Prime Minister he has ever seen and that even the likes of I K Gujral,Chandra Shekhar and H D Deve Gowda had performed better.

We have had Prime Ministers like Chandra Shekhar,Deve Gowda and I K Gujral who may not have even ten-fifteen MPs but who never appeared weak as there is a lot of strength in the position of Prime Minister, he said.

Advani said calling Singh weak is not an abuse. When I criticised him by calling him weak before the 2009 elections people asked me why I said that because he was a good and honest man. Calling him weak is not an abuse. But if the Prime Minister thinks that he cannot do anything till 10 Janpath does not give me clearance,it does not behove him.

Advani also claimed that the UPA government was talking of reviewing the Right to InformationRTI Act because it had brought out in the open the rift between two of its ministers Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram.

On his way to Nagpur,which is home to RSS headquarters,Advani also mentioned that when he had taken the decision to set off on his sixth yatra in 21 years there were some associates who tried to dissuade him.

Dont go on a yatra they said,there are new methods of communication that exist. Television has reached every home,Internet and other IT devices have made communication so simple,why then work so hard,why then move from village to village for forty days on the rath.

I replied that in my experience of past six yatras that even now in India,the way a message can reach people via a yatra cannot reach in any other manner, he said.
