Tell it like it is, Manmohan !

Manmohan Singh rips into L.K.Advani today:
 
"Mr. Advani has the unique ability to combine strength in speech with weakness in action. This is not the kind of strength we need"
 
"..But unline the NDA's prime ministerial candidate, I will not be found weeping in a corner while hoodlums tear down a centuries-old mosque. Nor will I be found wringing my hands in frustration while one of my Chief Ministers condones a pogrom targeted at minorities."
 
Not all good though: He offered a weak defence regarding the lack of justice for the killings of 1984.

Not to mention that Manmohan's record has not been so great -- enough bad stuff has happened in Orissa Mangalore and elsewhere on his watch.

So your vote is headed for UPA - i guess...

The Prime Minister pointed out that there is a difference in approach towards terrorism between the two governments,"while the NDA government released the Kandahar terrorists,the UPA government did not encourage terrorism."

My question is,then why where there so many terrorist attacks(Mumbai saga)etc ? The UPA government totally lacked the will to counter these terrorise attacks,however they keep blaming the NDA's lack of will after the Kandahar episode!

Another interesting thing is the blame games only intensifies months before the voting begins.

Funnily - the comparison UPA is making is - "we didnt negotiate with the 26/11 terrorists, we actually killed them. You negotiated and released terrorists"...

Hahaha... as if the terrorists in Taj/Oberoi had come in to negotiate and bargain. Wonder what they were demanding - complimentary stay in Maharaja suite, unlimited champagne and chicken tandoori and a tete-a-tete with Bipasha...!!!

And Not to mention the all expense paid trip to Goa for 3 days and 4 nights ! :P
peace out!

Nope...No Goa trip. They wanted a meeting with Sharad Pawar and Lalit Modi - to be considered as another franchisee team (owned and captained by a young Gandhi from UPA) for IPL...

Amusing comment from Manmohan Singh... I am amazed that no one asked him that what kind of strength did he show as a senior cabinet minister then. He was a senior Union cabinet minister when the mosque was being torn down... what was he doing? Partying...???
