Western media's deliberate move

It is western media’s deliberate attempt under the pressure of their government lobby to tarnish the image of Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh at international level. People know that this is the same media which had profusely praised him when he got the Indo-US Nuclear Bill passed in Parliament. So, their criticism should not be treated seriously. They are poking him to go all out again for economic reforms to their countries’ benefit. The crony capitalism can never be beneficial for the country like India. The benefit of economic reforms so far in India has not filtered down to the lower strata of society and concentrated in the hands of a group of business houses. With the slowing down of the economic reforms process in India and PM's failure to introduce FDI in retail by hook or crook for the benefit of western economy, which sees India as the largest market potential for them, they have started a campaign of running down to build pressure on him to go for economic reforms with doubly force. Before the prestigious Washington Post, US Times Magazine has already called Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh as Underachiever, who is unable to stick out his neck. Now, the Washington Post has called him silent and a tragic figure. It is to be seen how deftly the western media had eulogized him as the man who brought India on the path of prosperity, modernity and made it an emerging economic super power when economic reforms were in full swing under him. But at the same time, they now describe him as silent, dithering and tragic figure. Washington Post casts aspersion on him by saying that he is ending as a failure and presiding over a corrupt government. It has also described him as intellectual bureaucrat when he was steering reforms process very speedily, but now when his coalition government failed to maintain the speed, it has described him as ineffectual bureaucrat. No section of western media has ever carried a story that economic downturn in the west has badly affected the Asian economy, especially of India and China. Government has strongly objected to a remark by Washington Post made on Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and the incumbent Central government. The opposition BJP appears to have no policy and programme except the demand of PM’s resignation every now and then. Instead, it must present before the nation its policy, programme and leader so that the people could think whether it has the ability to replace the ruling Congress Party in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The Washington Post in an article has said that Dr. Manmohan Singh who ushered India into a modern and prosperous country may end going down in the history as a failure.The article goes on to say that the image of Prime Minister is slowly changing from a humble and intellectual technocrat to a dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government.
