Team Manmohan

Team Manmohan Singh looks really set for good governance and the overall development of India in its’ second avatar. There are number of indicators that give hope to the people in India
One, the Prime Minister has emerged stronger this time and his detractors have been silenced or sidelined, for instance Mr Arjun Singh who never considered Dr Manmohan Singh his leader has been dumped from the cabinet. Earlier the Congress men used to praise only Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, now most of them have added Manmohan Singh after Sonia in the same breath
Two, Dr Manmohan stood his ground when the DMK tried to arm twist him, he has kept all major infrastructure portfolios with the Congress party
Three, most of the ministers assigned to the critical departments are capable , examples Pranab Mukherjee, P Chidabaram, Kapil Sibal, Kamal Nath etc to name a few and the deadwood has been dumped, example Sisram Ola
Four, Dr Manmohan has chalked out a 100 day plan for each minister and they know he means business, like he meant business when pushing for the Indo US Nuclear Deal
Five, Dr Manmohan has full support of Sonia Gandhi and some of the congress men who had any doubts have learned their lessons

Minister Kamal Nath

It is fortunate we have a good minister like Kamal Nath for roads who has the credentials and the will power to produce results and give a much needed boot to kick-start the stalled projects and launch new ambitious projects ; the road building was neglected by the last UPA regime compared to the NDA tenure when the prime minister himself had taken tremendous interest in this area and Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpaye will always be remembered for improving the condition of roads in India. He started the golden quadrilaterals and added extra lanes to the existing highwaysMr. Kamal Nath has a great opportunity to be one up and surpass NDA performance in this area. Lets wish him the every success for the sake of India’s future

Bye Bye Mr. Arjun Singh

Mr. Arjun Singh ex HRD minister of India is protesting too much, he is one of the old guards who have not realised that India has come a long way from the old era of doles and mediocrity and people are no longer fooled by some quasi communist dribble, they want progress and development and anyone who is a hurdle in the fast track development of the youth will be swept aside like a dry leaf in the dustbin of history and buried under the magnificent edifice that is India of 21st century

Guru Gyan by O P Sindhu

In India it has taken ages for the UPA Government to be finally in place after days of hard bargaining for the juicy ministerial positions. In the meanwhile, there was no one responsible during this transition period when India faced large-scale religious violence in Punjab and natural disaster in West Bengal due to cyclone Aila , major issues that required focused, constant attention. Our current system of changeover of government needs to be changed so that the country is always in responsible and safe hands.
In my opinion everything need not come to a standstill in the transition period, the caretaker prime minister should be assisted by a national transition team drawn out of eminent personnel from all fields and have all the powers and responsibility to take care of any eventuality. This team needs to be in place as soon as the elections are announced and continue till the incoming team is installed
The national transition team can be pre selected by the Chief Justice of Supreme Court in consultation with the prime minister and the leaders of opposition
