Public Comments

1. without a Nobel Peace prize,unlikely......but does seem like qualified for something. dn
2. no . he is a good puppet
3. Congress love puppets and not education or intelligence.Subhash Chander Bose is an example in this regard.
4. So what if he is qualified? Besides being educated he dances too well to Sonia's Tunes hence he is an "Educated Puppet"
5. Mr. MMSingh can not tell all about himself.
6. Better to make some India educated person as PM of India, he'll at least speak in the language of the masses. Current PM is an educated dog (dog of the British who says we (Indians) didn't let the sun to set on the English language after the fall of the British Empire, means he is indirectly telling that all Indians are dogs which you people should have protested). Better go to Australia and get beaten by them like dogs. I will vote for a Muslim or Christian person who speaks in Hindi rather than those dogs (no matter whether they be Hindu or Sikh) who bark in English all the time because I give more preference to country. What is the use of his education if he can't even interact with his countrymen in their language?
7. I really appreciate his caliber and immense knowledge about economics. I want this man to lead India for another 10 years to see really India shining. I hope he should be a role model like Gandhiji. His greatness, humility, humbleness and great vision for India can be reflected in people's mandate given to him in recent election. I want India to produce the man of this stature time and again to take our country to great heights. We want great,prosperous, safe India. And that can be achieved only when we have leaders with immense vision, and enthusiasm to serve the nation and that can be done only by our BELOVED PM DR. MANMOHAN SINGH. Long Live Manmohan Singh. Jai Hind
8. Thanks 'ap' for providing this information, please mention about his children's qualifications also. Secondly, Dr. Singh seems to be having maximum educational qualifications compared to the prime ministers globally, past and present. The best qualification he has is criminal free record, the world must feel proud of him.
9. You had posted the same CV of His Excellency, The PM of India & I did answer. I'm surprised to know why that posting got deleted or withdrawn. This time you changed your asking a little. Well, to your present question, my answer is very positive, i.e. YES. But my earlier answer was: "A good resume may confirm good job but now-a-days, the corporate officials don't have time to go through that L..O..N..G..CV or resumes! I'm adding today a little more: a strong background with high qualification might not be the criteria of a person to be the PM or President of a country, especially a country like India.
10. My apologies ap, I think you question got deleted because I posted a url indicating the qualification of his one of his counterpart's qualification. Saffron brigade out of frustration deleted your question. But this time I am going to be more nasty. My apologies in advance if your question gets deleted in again: Lets analyze his counter parts, PM In waiting not PM in retirement: Name: Lal Krishna Advani Born: November 8, 1937 in Karachi, British India Education: Graduated in Law from the Bombay University Achievements: Rath Yatra Resulting in riots across India including 1992/1993 Bombay riots Some additional qualification: PLEASE READ THE AFFIDAVIT FILED BY PM-IN-WAITING'S DAUGHTER IN LAW http://www.milligazette.com/Archives/01022002/0102200227.htm http://www.thehindu.com/fline/fl1904/19040120.htm http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20041202/nation.htm#3 Most discussed politician as next PM in waiting Name: Narendra Damodardas Modi Born: September 17, 1950 Vadnagar, Mehsana Education: Masters in Political Science from Gujarat University Achievements: Using advertisement agencies to claim the development work done by private sector as state government's work. Ruining traditional diamond industry, farming, and cotton industry. Responsible for massacre in the state that claimed lives of thousands of citizens, responsible for not protecting the life the travellers in the S-6 coach in Sabarmati express because state government claims it was pre-planed thus intelligence failed to save them. Or it was pre-planned by state government. IS MR. MODI'S MARRIED? http://www.indianpoliticians.com/profile/40/ I guess this first installment is enough for now. Let them delete this time also. EDIT: So it is right that Mr. Modi is married, according to senior BJP leaders it is a case of child marriage. Read this report on DNA, he lived with his wife for 3 years when he was young and then one night quietly left her. Pathetic. How can a person do this. And why is he hiding it? Why did he try destroying all the evidence of the marriage? http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_modi-s-wife-on-youtube_1137934 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHtbnK3i_Dk @ 3rd umpire, Ideally why should I not be frustrated on question been deleted where I have made efforts to answer? I do not answer rubbish but make efforts to find facts and answer. Same is the case when your question gets deleted. Understood? And do not preach me, before preaching me read answers from saffron brigade including you, you guys did not leave even Mahatma Gandhi with false rumors then I am just saying that is published in the leading national news papers and accepted by senior BJP leaders. And remember DNA is part of Dainik Bhaskar Group owned by Ramesh Chand Agrawal, pure anti congress, pro-BJP family, so don't start blaming media.
11. YES.
12. For sure he is the most educated prime minister of India. For that matter he is the most educated politician of India on any position. As far as world is concerned, to best of my knowledge, he is most edcuated politician, but cannot be 100% sure. Though he is not really a politician.
13. It was sad that your question was deleted i believe in the freedom of speech ,and your question was nothing of that sort that it should be reported. Believe me i have never reported any question on this forum how much it is against my thought.Recently I have blocked some id,s because they were creating havoc by reporting my question again and again.One of them Was HA HA HA HA user of your congress group,and one was who has fascination for Hindu terrorism,i know you and MS would be the last person to do so. Any how my answer would be same that even after so much of education this person needs "IMPORTED REMOTE CONTROL" for functioning, and this guy do not have courage to face a direct election in a functioning democracy. EDIT:@MS ideally ap should be frustrated over her question deletion but here you are showing your frustration,if you really is interested in washing dirty linen of our political leadres,believe me i have so much stuff that this forum would be a small place for your beloved ,NEHRU,Gandhi,Indira and sonia. But i would refrain because since Peter is not here it is of no use. EDIT2:- Mehdi i appriciate your gesture but in the end you did said JAI HIND(i hope Islam permits for this ,who knows tomorrow there would be a Fatwa against saying JAI HIND(another form of idol worshipping)
14. i do think he is a great person n highly educated but the thing is like even being a sikh........he couldnt grant justice to those 5000 sikhs butchered in delhi in 84 n he belogns to a highly communal party like congress which is anohter synonymn to pseudo secularism!!
15. Granted that he is highly qualified and has won a whole slew of awards there is one item that he lacks.The courage to face the electorate.His obsequiousness is pathetic.But his one trait I most admire him for is the rectitude in public life.His honesty and integrity are unparalleled.A diplomat he may be but a politician he certainly is not. You may probably not even be aware of Mr.Shrikant Jichhkar of the Congress Party who was a Minister in the Maharashtra Government. His academic qualifications (none of which were honorary) for every one of which he had to slog,were mind boggling when one considers that he secured many of them while working and in so many different subjects.Even before he died he had obtained a Masters in (if I am not mistaken) Sanskrit.He was an M.D. in General Medicine.And last but not the least he qualified for the Indian Administrative Services to boot. He had his share of doctorates too for which he wrote his theses. And like the PM he too was upright.A sincere politician who worked for the people he endeared himself to the masses.A pity that India does not have two score more like him for then India would have been in a different league altogether.Have aNice Day.
16. Yes,he is a well qualified person.No doubt about his qualification. But his qualification does not reflect in his policies. 1)Agriculture policies is a failure.Suicide of farmers is continuing. 2)Failure to create jobs as unemployment has increased. 3)Ignorance of Infrastructure. 4)Proved Weak on terrorism. 5)Naxals have grown stronger under UPA. 6)Price rise reflects his qualification. 7)Reforms has messed up India.eg.Power reforms. 8)High level of corruption and corruption has increased. 9)Misleading people on Nuclear deal. 10)Inconsisent comments has created confiusions among people. etc.
