The BJP is deriding Dr. Manmohan Singh as the weakest Prime Minister India ever had. It is true that the only occasion Dr. Singh had shown doggedness to the extent of relinquishing his post as Prime Minister was during the end of UPA-I tenure, over the issue of signing civilian nuclear deal with the U.S. His second innings was marred by scams followed by an uncanny Congress strategy to pass on the reigns to Rahul Gandhi. But wasn’t it true that Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was about to reach an agreement with Parvez Musharraf in the Agra summit, was also restrained by his deputy L.K. Advani. And the meeting of Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh with the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat doesn’t portend that the power centre of the impending NDA government also lay elsewhere.
