The Myth of South Is More Developed than North due to Southern Political Parties is ABSURD, Coz It has been that way since 1400s And In 1947, Madras Presidency had Literacy rate of 35%, Travancore had 47%(Kerala & TN), But UP& Bihar has +-10% each, Becoz South didn't have Barbaric Outside Conquests to Destroy Temples like in The North, As a Result, Many Temples stood In the South as Educational, Cultural & Trading Centres and Hence they became Rich

If everyone knows things weren't right in the UPA 2 the honorable PM should have resigned. He would have redeemed himself unfortunately he has made out a poor case not only about himself but about his party as well. The collateral damage remains to the benefit of Modi led BJP. The Gandhi's are guilty of destroying the country and the party.
Someone (who is in active politics and knows a lot more than I) told me that Manmohan jI was afraid of the person who would replace him should he resign. So he stayed on.
Today modi really praised him in rajya sabha, 3 best congress pm-Lal Bahadur Shastri, pv Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh in first term, none of their achievements ever endorsed by anyone in congress, that's is where modi pounce on them, his attack always been on Nehru and his clan
Manmohan Singh is nowhere near LB Shastri & PVN. Comparing him with Shastri is an insult to Shastri. MMS dedicated his life to the dynasty. He was not a leader. He was a puppet dancing to the tunes of Malkin Sonia. His first term was somewhat good because of the reforms done by Vajpayee 1 year before the election.
@@Agnosticcc-x3m MMS stood for the US Nuclear deal when no-one else wanted to. I think that's his biggest achievement, the rest is just painful humiliation. History will be kinder to MMS but it will definitely be harsher towards Congress and Sonia Gandhi.
@@libshastra Ok, that one thing was good. We view it as humiliation but did he consider it as humiliation? I think he was happy in serving the dynasty. He was even ready to work under Rahul. Forget about history, people already sympathetic towards him. People have tendency of making shady personalities a hero or saint... like Gandhi, Teresa.... So, I don't care much about what majority of people thinks or what would history say.
May be because Modi has a pathological hatred for Nehru. As someone who was fed with RSS propaganda since childhood.. we should not be surprised on his constant abuse on the 1st PM of India… who spent decades as leading figure in the freedom movement. Nothing wrong is criticism of specific policies of the Nehru government .. but this constant abuse as someone who hated India / Indians and our long history and culture is ridiculous. I have never seen US Presidents (across party lines) abusing George Washington..
the darbari journalists of the UPA era wont agree with you... For them it was the golden days of access journalism ... Then they made ministers, traveled with PM, had direct line to PMO, and now they run TH-cam channels and beg for donation in the name of 'real journalism'...

It’s a shame what Congress did to the office of PM. A foreign origin person was the de-facto ruler of India. Indias first Sikh PM was reduced to a pitiable caricature. The lessons here - There should be no political party in India wedded to any one family. And the Sonia-Rahul duo should not be allowed anywhere near power.
Seeing a party undercut its own Prime Minister is truly unfortunate. Leadership thrives when supported, especially when it embodies intellect, selflessness, and integrity. 🇮🇳
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
Current PM Modi today praised him today in Rajya sabha,but what disappointed me that people from congress were not even applauding that,seems like without permission from the family,no one is allowed to even applaud even when former PM from their own party is being praised. This family has destroyed Congress,India deserved a strong opposition but you all know why we don't have that. Some of other reasons include horse trading etc but main reason is this family.
Brother at this point it’s not about congress , nation ,or its people for Gandhi family It’s family . Family , family first for them now specially Sonia Gandhi. U can see utterances from them They start with I have lost my grandmother and then my father etc how gandhi family sacrificed etc So at this point congress is just a property of family. They don’t care about country nation as long as. They are in power
The more I get to know how things were run in UPA years the more I understand exactly why they're where they are and even more do I shudder to vote for them until they mend their ways by leaps and bounds.
Maino family (aka Gandhi family) operates like Italian mafia. That's how they keep this vice like grip on the party. They are ruthless. Robert Vadra lost his father and brother after marrying into this family (both were unnatural deaths, and both didn't make to media headlines). If my memory serves me right, Robert Vadra's brother died circa 2007 in a hotel in Delhi, and i read a small 3-line news on the 6th or 7th page of a newspaper.

@@pp_01123 It's true. A great majority of corporations are registered in Mumbai- Corporate tax is a direct tax . So 33% of Direct tax would be coming from firms registered in Mumbai. The point of this () debate is just because a firm is registered at a place does that mean this place is generating all that tax? I mean Look at Reliance they do business all over the country, they refine crude oil at Jamnagar but all the revenue is incorporated at Mumbai office. Infosys has it's offices all over the country mumabi, nagpur, Indore, jaipur all generate revenue and profits but since it's headquaretred at Bengaluru direct taxes would be coming from Bengaluru. this is really a nasty debate to bring sub regionalism in the elections to BJP nationalism(it will prove to be suicidal for INC) they will loose seats in Karnataka with getting completely wiping out in north

I am one of those who believe Dr Singh was honest to the core and of course an intellectual.The so called high command with the power it wielded then would not have hesitated to threaten him and his family with physical harm,maybe even death.I honestly think that factor alone forced him to carry on and I’m sure all of Lutyens knew this but protected themselves too by remaining silent
More than anything else, it is Karma and Karma alone that is keeping the gandhis away from power and causing their downfall. The only blunder that Manmohan Singh did was hang on to the PM seat despite being publicly humiliated by the gandhis and their coterie. It is this bad Karma that will continue to haunt the gandhis and the Congress party. They did the same to PVN, and it took a BJP to restore PVN's credibility and his legacy
Manmohan Singh made a joke of himself and the chair of PM. Undoubtedly he is a knowledgeable man, having no bad intentions but he remained silent even when the whole India wanted him to rise above petty politics. We don’t need such people at helm. They are good for policy making suggestions but not for big decisions. No disrespect to the man and his service to the nation.

Your sympathy on Manmohan Singh is wasted. What stopped him from resigning and giving a shock treatment to the family and the congress party? I think that he had been seduced by the glamour, status and apparent power of his office. His tenure of ten years was a great disservice to the dignity of the post Indian PM. Modi has restored the sheen of the PM’s post.
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
He loved HUMILIATION over his job, like ordinary person , who is always afraid, he was slur on Sikhs, enjoyed serving perpetrators of 1984,he is protector of corrupt & criminal

@@thomasastha9007his greatest failure was the exhausted and vision less government. Utterly devoid of both energy and ambition. That in turn, allowed someone like Modi to come to Delhi. No amount of praise can overcome that basic shortcoming of his government.
@@manjulashanmugasundaram706 I am interested in absolute I do not believe in so called God who gave wealth to akali like badals who distributed drugs to masses in Punjab, manmohan encouraged such cliques
The worst issue with Dr. Singh administration was every ministry is working in autonomous mode with the respective minister considering himself the PM of India. Basically many PM’s are running the govt simultaneously leading to corrupt practices along with coalition partners, with DMK the best example.
Why not call a spade a spade ? Why all this round about. Manmohan Singh was a pupette. He was a remote controlled PM with the remote in the hands of the Italian family of Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka Robert.
Not to mention the darbari journalists were complacent about it to say the least. They were hand in glove with them. For them it was the golden days of access journalism ...

Costs of holding the highest public office are extremely high, and demands brutal. The office is neither for academicians, gentlemen, kind, honest and nor for high integrity individuals. He deserves the blame of whatever he did or suffered. I hope history judges him kindly, though chances are slim. You too can’t have sympathy for him Mr Editor even though he was generous with you, that possibly was a sign of his weakness while holding the highest office.

As a retd GOI auditor I will say MNREGA is the worst poverty alleviation programme because it not only encouraged corruption but created problem for agricultural operations. It's sad Modiji is still continuing with MNREGA. Hope it will be discontinued when Modiji wins 2024 comfortably.
problem is that discontinuation would be political suicide. Congress like parties have corrupted people with free measures which becomes political dynamite if someone talks against it.
@@agytjax the landowners having to pay remunerative wages to find agricultural labourers 😂. May be this.. (I have heard some people complain about this.. ...I didn't say anything....I was like...so cute of a oppressor u are 😅 ).
We the people of North usually remain respectful to South even when we get thrashed by south citizens in their den. But scenario takes a drastic change otherwise, South people don’t respect north just because people are having lower per capita income. They need to understand that it was north who fought with all the invaders yet stood tall to the Idea of India. We don’t want India to break again and give Islamic terrorists a free pass to take our beloved land. We need to understand that Congress does that every time they go out of power since the beginning of 1947. This party don’t hesitate to break India into pieces just to get power. Vote for Modi.
gandhis have never learnt their lessons - especially pappu. They did the same to PVN, and it took a BJP to restore PVN's credibility and his legacy. Now that it is almost a given that BJP will come to power for a third term, let us hope that BJP will do the same to restore Manmohan Singh's legacy and give him his due credit. We'll need a gandhi mukt Congress, not because I love BJP, but because we all need a Strong Opposition for a Strong Democracy !
You are a classic example of ‘Hindsight is the best sight’ , Mr. Gupta.. most of what you say is known to everyone and you seem to put it as if you are Presenting some rocket science! Wish if you had the sight back then!! Postmortem is so easy!
@@b_ghosh7158 I guess I did not miss that.. rather I consider that too. Dr. Singh’s UPA 2 lasted for five years ; he left his office in May’14.. he wrote all these major big things after some eight months... I only wish if journalists have the courage to speak at the right time and not choose convenience. His sight is still ‘hindsight’ and I rest it there:) the same applies now too.. SG and many others provide a picture on a current issue and after some time when they are in a different situation (for example a regime change or a greater majority for the ruling party , etc. ) they conveniently take a different lens and provide us with so much gyan.. I am even ok with that ; but bare minimum let such journalists in India acknowledge the same (for example, they either missed something or they thought it to be otherwise , an error of judgment or a purposeful omission..)
And the economic liberation was all due to PV Narasimha Rao, not a technician like Manmohan Singh. It was Gandhi family propaganda to keep the credit out of the last Politocian PM from the congress.
There was no choice as were broke in 1992. Fortunately we saved ourselves from a "dictated" devaluation (a la 1966 and 1981} by issuing dollar bonds and allowing remittances under a spl scheme. Driven to the wall Dr singh the doctrinaire socialist had no choice but to liberalise though reluctantly.
Politics is not academics. Being intellectual and honest is not necessarily a great qualification. Manmohan Singh is not a leader, never been a leader. Sitting on a high ranking chair, appointeded by somebody without even ever been elected can be anything but leadership.
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
Manmohan Singh came from a refugee family. It was a combination of total cowardice and unlimited ambition. I had workes closely with him and he was a disappointment for he could never take a stand on any major issue.
@@bmniac couldn't agree more. Half of West Bengal is Hindu refugees from East Pakistan and later Bangladesh. All cowards to the core. Maybe too harsh a word, please forgive me. But that was a sad realization. Traumatized people 😞 so communism amd CPIM etc in Bengal is more of a Mask to cover the cowardice than an ideological understanding and commitment. Fear drove them there. And once they feel RSS is there to stay...all will flip to BJP like a long lost brother in a mela - with total and fanatical commitment to Hindutva unlike any other place in the country.
This is NOT national interest. This is analysis of past government. These days CTC has more clutter and "National Interest" has nothing to do with National Interest.
Its still an enigma why an honourable person like MMS chose to be a" servant" of the Sonia & her family gulping all insults, humiliation ! In the UPA days in all govt Advt the PM's photo was always below that of Sonia ! Was he so spineless!?
@@tarunyadav7026 Just Google the role of Dr Singh for our Country! He has been at every major public post and have delivered his work. FYI, even in COVID countries like B'desh and Pakistan was doing better. Secondly, world has 197+ countries and we don't find any country distributing free grains like India. (Hamare yaha tax payer ke money see aaj bhi 60% log khana kha the h)
No, history will not be kind to Manmohan Singh. He totally squandered his legacy during the 2007 to 2014 time period. His silence and complicity is what will prevent his legacy from being redeemed.
@@roadrash999bro every pm has same basic infrastructure on which he builds his policies . Yes Aadhar was there but Modi used it very wisely by bringing digital india and then linked Aadhar with bank accounts which led to successful implementation of UPI , even Chidambaram and other congress leaders questioned that how illiterate people will use UPI which suggest that even former finance minister has no idea about UPI and its future . Do not give credit to other just because you hate Modi . Modi has changed india in 10 years believe it or not . Just Road infrastructure is enough for me to vote for Modi forget economy and foreign policy .
I remember during Dr. Manmohan Singh's PM tenure there was an entity called GoM- GROUP OF MINISTERS. This GoM often used to act independently or according to the Party High Command without any consultation with PMO. This severely undermined the PMO and as a result of which PM Manmohan Singh was reduced to look being helpless. Therefore during UPA2 there was severe POLICY PARALYSIS. On the other hand PM Narendra Modi is effective and efficient in taking critical policy decisions.
Very interesting video. Mr Gupta starts and and ends the video by stating how he is an admirer of Dr Singh and during the video paints the picture of a weak and ineffective man (certainly not a leader) who placed his loyalty towards a family above national interests. His tenure did more harm than good for the country as he watched mutely and helplessly. Good riddance I would say.

It is the best description of Manmohan Singh, I have ever heard. By the way, those were the days when we didn't have to fact check the PM speech. First Atal ji and then Manmohan Singh ji.
Thank you shekarsir for bringing the wonderful episode.Dr mohansingh siris a great economist. And a good straight Forward personbut had to follow the high command orders.
Shekhar - No use eulogizing Maun Mohan Singh... He is himself to be blamed for the sad plight he is currently in. Most of us blame him for Bharat to be bracketed with 2 infamous terms 'Fragile Five' and 'Policy Paralysis'... Being docile, incompetent, Mauni and obedient may be his epithet but being a complete doodle in front of 'Bhuri Kaki' is a trait that generally a 'Sardar' is not associated with... He could have and most certainly should have shown some spine and lambasted the house of Gandhis - nothing stopped him... For Chris sake - He was the 'Prime Minister'... To show some context - he seems to be worst than Gyani Jail Singh who had sadly said that he is ready to sweep the floor with a broom if Indira said so... What a travesty and a downfall of the mighty Sardars...
What a great episode SG sir!!! I'm truly an admirer of Dr. MMS. Undoubtedly, history will judge him far more kindly and with perspective. And, as a middle class Indian, I'm forever grateful to him for many things which I take for granted..
The family through party controlled the government ( often with poor governance / corruption) with PM being a nominated puppet. This exercise of power without accountability is what Rahul is used to and that explains his disconnect with people and public opinion.
I don't think so Dr Manmohan Singh was a bad prime minister.....atleast watching the condition now i see him as better PM who atleast used to listen to public and had conversations with media and opposition not like the one trying to suppress media and his critics The problem was just that he wasn't able to have a complete control over his cabinet
Imagine SG saying he admired Modi too.... When the whole govt was going to dogs, corruption creeping Delhi, SG was sympathising with Dr MMS who let them all loose. For SG loyalty first, country last.
Power is toxic as proved in MMS case because he was happy being a puppet PM under Sonia Gandhi rule. It's unfortunate both MMS and Shekhar Gupta are servile to Sonia Gandhi family.
SG just giving excuses for the inaction of Accidental, mute PM. He was subservient to the Gandhi family. He should have been more nationalist and come out with the dirty secrets of the UPA. Patriotic, how did he ever allow his daughter to be an employee of George Soros?

My boss takes advantage of some team members simplicity, obedience & honesty at work asks them to work extra hours, sometimes deligates his own work by calling it really important same happened with Manmohan Singh ji
gandhis have done enuf damage to our democracy and to our economy - until PVN and Manmohan Singh (non-gandhis) came along. That's why we'll need a gandhi mukt Congress, not because I love BJP, but because India needs a Strong Opposition and a Strong Democracy ! With ganhdis and current coterie around, all you can expect is spineless countering and babbling over non-issues
Excellent articulation of the tragedy of one of our most impactful & intellectual Prime Ministers... hit the nail on the head with the line 'he put his feudal loyalties above public trust' Thank you SG...
Manmohan was spineless greedy of power. The prove lies in the way held the chair even after being insulted day-in day-out. He wasn't PM, instead Sonia's P.A.
He was a RBI governor material being promoted to a PM without having any quality of a leader. This allowed open back door loot for the family & its lotas while this poor humble servant was left on front to greet people & media with namastee ji.
I always loved and admired and Dr. manmohan Singh. I was kid back then, but when I read somewhere that his personal vehicle was a maruti 800. I knew that he was as honest a person can be. He was destroyed by the witch Sonia Gandhi and that self entitled stupid brat RG. I used to see Sonia Gandhi with all the big leaders along with Manmohan on TV. And I used to think what is she doing doing out there. She is not PM or DPM just a party leader. But then later realised that she was actually the real PM and Dr. Manmohan was just a puppet. I hope before he passes away he speaks up and tell the world what he went through and how his image was destroyed by the very people he trusted. I will never vote for congress until Gandhi's are alive.

Happiest Breaking News Ever: Eight Navy Veterans who were in Qatar jail for last 18 months have been released and returned to India. It's big a win for our government and and it's foreign policy This government does care for it's people. They aren't left destitute like in Congress era. A big salute to the government for it's efforts and happy for the Navy veterans Few months back, they were sentenced for life but with the continuos intervention of Indian government, they have been released and returned. From an era where we forgot our prisoners of war to one where our navy veterans are coming home, despite all odds. Qatar arrested them on undeclared charges in August 2022. In Oct 2023, handed death penalty. And in 4 months, they’re home. Only Narendra Modi could have done it Big Blow to ISI and CIA, who were trying to prove these veterans as spies of Israel. Also those Indians, who were wishing bad for them just to target PM Modi. Such is their hatred for one man that the lefties, congis and other such people might have been praying hard that the veterans don't return, so that they can bash the government. Today is a sad day for them and hope they have many more such sad days for next 50yrs atleast. All veterans have thanked PM Modi for his effort to release them. ----Srinivasan Ganeshan
Every one says Manmohan Singh was a Proxy of Sonia Gandhi. In reality it is only half true. The truth is even Sonia Gandhi was a proxy of Ahmed Patel. He was the one who pulling the strings.
I watched the accidental prime minister but somehow not able to gauge his character the worst that can happen to someone holding public office is that he is a puppet of family still and thinks of that person is holding most important position of india . Made of mockery of himself plz dont be kind to him till this day that person didnt open his mouth he is almost dead from inside . To come think of how some country make someone salve for 200 years because persons like him exists and somehow hold the most important position of india . Thanks to congress 🎉😂🎉
In 1951, Tamils constituted 7.43% of Indian Population. Now it is reduced to 5.9 %. Hindi Speaking population in India in 1951 was 42.01 %. Now it is 59.09 %. - Census data.
I think Mr. Singh was super smart, in a way that he knew he won’t be getting the third term and Mr. Rahul would be getting it.. so he stayed quiet, didn’t defend his party. Getting his revenge on Rahul making sure he is defeated just by staying quiet.
If Mr. Singh thought loyalty to the family was quite important, he had no right to show it at the cost to the nation. Personal choices are what they are, personal. He is being judged because he put his personal preferences above the country, however intelligent he may be
Mr. Gupta - am surprised that yiu still have respect for a person who oulled down the country and allowed mayhem to continue by clinging onto his chair! Despite all the insults showered on him by his own appointees and showing files and taking approvals from a extra-constitutional person! How a person with conscious can do it? Am astonished/shocked at your statement. Good luck Mr. Gupta.
I think BJP should not claim Manmohan... He was neither a good leader, nor a great economist(it's all hype) He definitely doesn't deserve to be in the list of great personalities like Patel, PV Narasimha Rao. In fact, PV Narasimha Rao deserves credit of liberalisation but people have become so sympathetic towards Manmohan & portrayed him as a genius... This narrative overshadowed PVN.
How much great he may be ( as your credit) he betrayed his countrymen. Sonia and Rahul should have been jailed years back. MMS is solely responsible. God will never forgive. You too Shekhar should align with dharma rather than your perslonal feelings.
Total crap. How did the loyality to the country becomes lesser than the loyality to a family. You may think that you can just talk out of the atrocities his government did on indian economy, strategic affairs, politics by talking about how some X person who died use to think that he was selfless, this selflessness means nothing to me if its lower than the loyality to some family. I want the selflessness to be like mr modi. Nothing above the nation. Period. Nothing more said .
I agree with Shekhar on most points but demanding just ONE MAN ie Dr. Manmohan singh, to be a star performer, every-single-time , amongst literally the worst team-mates & grilling him for not winning the match..... is Cruel. Rather than going after one man, the entire system needs to be questioned. Why was institution of PM office allowed to be so shamelessly manhandled by a political dynasty? Dr. Manmohan singh exercised good judgment in his personal capacity and was rightly praised by PM Modi in parliament today. surprisingly a wonderful courtesy shown by PM Modi, this elevates Modi's stature as a leader.
wow… this episode was real gold. i always admire dr singh and many a times run into arguments with modi admirers. but yes you are right, UPA 2 was a disaster and congress is paying price for it till today.
Manmohan Singh's good quality was his loyalty for the dynasty. That's why he reached higher positions. He's not a Genius or GGrrreat economist. He's just a mediocre economist.
As Mr.Manmohan Singh had correctly mentioned about him being an appointed PM rather than an elected PM . Perhaps the most honest PM but in the wrong party .
What i understand is it was a political master stroke. Manmohan Singh ji ne Gandhi family ka paap ka ghada bharne diya. Had that not happened we would have not got Modiji. Article 370 and Ram Mandir would have never been achieved by today. Just imagine, how on earth, today's Congress would have ever thought of creating this kind of magnificent Parliament. There is a saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is doing mistake". This is exactly what Dr. Singh did. He let them do all the bad things which ultimately culminated in the end of Congress and Gandhi family rule
"Instead of questioning why Manmohan Singh didn't resign around 2010, the real inquiry should focus on how the Congress party has continued to tolerate the arrogance and incompetence attributed to the Gandhi family by its critics."
Mr Gupta, Your ending statement about history judging him positively because he overlooked his personal interest over his feudal loyalty, is a nonsensical point. Shouldn’t his loyalty lie with the people of his country, period? He will be judged as a traitor to the his countrymen, unfortunately.

The Myth of South Is More Developed than North due to Southern Political Parties is ABSURD, Coz It has been that way since 1400s And In 1947, Madras Presidency had Literacy rate of 35%, Travancore had 47%(Kerala & TN), But UP& Bihar has +-10% each, Becoz South didn't have Barbaric Outside Conquests to Destroy Temples like in The North, As a Result, Many Temples stood In the South as Educational, Cultural & Trading Centres and Hence they became Rich

The Gandhi's are guilty of destroying the country and the party.
Someone (who is in active politics and knows a lot more than I) told me that Manmohan jI was afraid of the person who would replace him should he resign. So he stayed on.

Absolutely right Mr Vikas
Today modi really praised him in rajya sabha, 3 best congress pm-Lal Bahadur Shastri, pv Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh in first term, none of their achievements ever endorsed by anyone in congress, that's is where modi pounce on them, his attack always been on Nehru and his clan
Because that family ruined Democracy
Manmohan Singh is nowhere near LB Shastri & PVN.
Comparing him with Shastri is an insult to Shastri.
MMS dedicated his life to the dynasty. He was not a leader. He was a puppet dancing to the tunes of Malkin Sonia.
His first term was somewhat good because of the reforms done by Vajpayee 1 year before the election.
@@Agnosticcc-x3m MMS stood for the US Nuclear deal when no-one else wanted to. I think that's his biggest achievement, the rest is just painful humiliation. History will be kinder to MMS but it will definitely be harsher towards Congress and Sonia Gandhi.
@@libshastra Ok, that one thing was good. We view it as humiliation but did he consider it as humiliation? I think he was happy in serving the dynasty. He was even ready to work under Rahul.
Forget about history, people already sympathetic towards him. People have tendency of making shady personalities a hero or saint... like Gandhi, Teresa.... So, I don't care much about what majority of people thinks or what would history say.
May be because Modi has a pathological hatred for Nehru. As someone who was fed with RSS propaganda since childhood.. we should not be surprised on his constant abuse on the 1st PM of India… who spent decades as leading figure in the freedom movement. Nothing wrong is criticism of specific policies of the Nehru government .. but this constant abuse as someone who hated India / Indians and our long history and culture is ridiculous. I have never seen US Presidents (across party lines) abusing George Washington..
My God this really bring me back to the jorrible days of congress. Never agian can we allow these people back into power!

The level of damage congress party done to the nation is completely unfathomable
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
🤣
It’s a shame what Congress did to the office of PM. A foreign origin person was the de-facto ruler of India. Indias first Sikh PM was reduced to a pitiable caricature. The lessons here - There should be no political party in India wedded to any one family. And the Sonia-Rahul duo should not be allowed anywhere near power.
Not a BJP supporter but After listening to this, I'm totally convinced that Congress really needed to lose its status.
Derse aaye magar durust aaye!
Seeing a party undercut its own Prime Minister is truly unfortunate. Leadership thrives when supported, especially when it embodies intellect, selflessness, and integrity. 🇮🇳
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
Current PM Modi today praised him today in Rajya sabha,but what disappointed me that people from congress were not even applauding that,seems like without permission from the family,no one is allowed to even applaud even when former PM from their own party is being praised.
This family has destroyed Congress,India deserved a strong opposition but you all know why we don't have that.
Some of other reasons include horse trading etc but main reason is this family.
Brother at this point it’s not about congress , nation ,or its people for Gandhi family
It’s family . Family , family first for them now specially Sonia Gandhi.
U can see utterances from them
They start with I have lost my grandmother and then my father etc how gandhi family sacrificed etc
So at this point congress is just a property of family.
They don’t care about country nation as long as. They are in power
@@Sid20-jd7mb I agree

Maino family (aka Gandhi family) operates like Italian mafia. That's how they keep this vice like grip on the party. They are ruthless. Robert Vadra lost his father and brother after marrying into this family (both were unnatural deaths, and both didn't make to media headlines).

The point of this () debate is just because a firm is registered at a place does that mean this place is generating all that tax? I mean Look at Reliance they do business all over the country, they refine crude oil at Jamnagar but all the revenue is incorporated at Mumbai office.
Infosys has it's offices all over the country mumabi, nagpur, Indore, jaipur all generate revenue and profits but since it's headquaretred at Bengaluru direct taxes would be coming from Bengaluru.

I am one of those who believe Dr Singh was honest to the core and of course an intellectual.The so called high command with the power it wielded then would not have hesitated to threaten him and his family with physical harm,maybe even death.I honestly think that factor alone forced him to carry on and I’m sure all of Lutyens knew this but protected themselves too by remaining silent
More than anything else, it is Karma and Karma alone that is keeping the gandhis away from power and causing their downfall.
The only blunder that Manmohan Singh did was hang on to the PM seat despite being publicly humiliated by the gandhis and their coterie. It is this bad Karma that will continue to haunt the gandhis and the Congress party.
They did the same to PVN, and it took a BJP to restore PVN's credibility and his legacy
Manmohan Singh made a joke of himself and the chair of PM. Undoubtedly he is a knowledgeable man, having no bad intentions but he remained silent even when the whole India wanted him to rise above petty politics. We don’t need such people at helm. They are good for policy making suggestions but not for big decisions. No disrespect to the man and his service to the nation.
How is it so undoubtful that he is a knowledgable man? His economic policies would say either way

and you think the guy at the helm today takes really good decisions?
Your sympathy on Manmohan Singh is wasted. What stopped him from resigning and giving a shock treatment to the family and the congress party? I think that he had been seduced by the glamour, status and apparent power of his office.
His tenure of ten years was a great disservice to the dignity of the post Indian PM. Modi has restored the sheen of the PM’s post.

The worst issue with Dr. Singh administration was every ministry is working in autonomous mode with the respective minister considering himself the PM of India. Basically many PM’s are running the govt simultaneously leading to corrupt practices along with coalition partners, with DMK the best example.
Why not call a spade a spade ? Why all this round about. Manmohan Singh was a pupette. He was a remote controlled PM with the remote in the hands of the Italian family of Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka Robert.
Not to mention the darbari journalists were complacent about it to say the least. They were hand in glove with them. For them it was the golden days of access journalism ... Then they made ministers, traveled with PM, had direct line to PMO, had anniversary celebration of the channel in Rashtrapati Bhavan of all places!...

Just to keep your bosses(Sonia and RG) happy now you have started to find faults MMS.
Dr. Manmohan Singh has always National Interest in his mind however, he could not Cut the Clutter The Gandhis Enigma.....
Shekhar sir nice analysis and coverage. Manmohan Singh will always remain one of the selfless Prime Minister's off all times.
Costs of holding the highest public office are extremely high, and demands brutal. The office is neither for academicians, gentlemen, kind, honest and nor for high integrity individuals. He deserves the blame of whatever he did or suffered. I hope history judges him kindly, though chances are slim. You too can’t have sympathy for him Mr Editor even though he was generous with you, that possibly was a sign of his weakness while holding the highest office.

As a retd GOI auditor I will say MNREGA is the worst poverty alleviation programme because it not only encouraged corruption but created problem for agricultural operations. It's sad Modiji is still continuing with MNREGA. Hope it will be discontinued when Modiji wins 2024 comfortably.
From what I have seen in my village because of mnrega migration in off season has decreased
problem is that discontinuation would be political suicide. Congress like parties have corrupted people with free measures which becomes political dynamite if someone talks against it.
Created problem for agri ops? What do you mean by that, - increasing labour wages 😂.
Can you explain how it "created problems for agricultural operations" ? As a student of policy making, I would be interested
@@agytjax the landowners having to pay remunerative wages to find agricultural labourers 😂. May be this.. (I have heard some people complain about this.. ...I didn't say anything....I was like...so cute of a oppressor u are 😅 ).
We the people of North usually remain respectful to South even when we get thrashed by south citizens in their den. But scenario takes a drastic change otherwise, South people don’t respect north just because people are having lower per capita income.
They need to understand that it was north who fought with all the invaders yet stood tall to the Idea of India. We don’t want India to break again and give Islamic terrorists a free pass to take our beloved land.
We need to understand that Congress does that every time they go out of power since the beginning of 1947. This party don’t hesitate to break India into pieces just to get power.
Vote for Modi.
This comment is unrelated to the video. But how are north people remain respectful to south anyway ?
gandhis have never learnt their lessons - especially pappu. They did the same to PVN, and it took a BJP to restore PVN's credibility and his legacy. Now that it is almost a given that BJP will come to power for a third term, let us hope that BJP will do the same to restore Manmohan Singh's legacy and give him his due credit. We'll need a gandhi mukt Congress, not because I love BJP, but because we all need a Strong Opposition for a Strong Democracy !

@@b_ghosh7158 I guess I did not miss that.. rather I consider that too. Dr. Singh’s UPA 2 lasted for five years ; he left his office in May’14.. he wrote all these major big things after some eight months...

SG and many others provide a picture on a current issue and after some time when they are in a different situation (for example a regime change or a greater majority for the ruling party , etc. ) they conveniently take a different lens and provide us with so much gyan.. I am even ok with that ; but bare minimum let such journalists in India acknowledge the same (for example, they either missed something or they thought it to be otherwise , an error of judgment or a purposeful omission..)
@@nambiarshijith You have a point there. Thanks for the clarification
And the economic liberation was all due to PV Narasimha Rao, not a technician like Manmohan Singh. It was Gandhi family propaganda to keep the credit out of the last Politocian PM from the congress.
Exactly.
There was no choice as were broke in 1992. Fortunately we saved ourselves from a "dictated" devaluation (a la 1966 and 1981}
by issuing dollar bonds and allowing remittances under a spl scheme. Driven to the wall Dr singh the doctrinaire socialist had no choice but to liberalise though reluctantly.
@@bmniac again, another case of a reluctant decision 😉 not impressive at all
Sad for manmohan singh-who did so much for India! A great finance minister and RBI Governor but succumbed to the gandhis in UPA 2😢
Politics is not academics. Being intellectual and honest is not necessarily a great qualification. Manmohan Singh is not a leader, never been a leader. Sitting on a high ranking chair, appointeded by somebody without even ever been elected can be anything but leadership.
Coupta ji deliberately missed one main point- Maino family (aka Gandhi family) is ruthless like italian mafia. Manmohan feared for his family’s safety.
Manmohan Singh came from a refugee family. It was a combination of total cowardice and unlimited ambition. I had workes closely with him and he was a disappointment for he could never take a stand on any major issue.
@@bmniac couldn't agree more. Half of West Bengal is Hindu refugees from East Pakistan and later Bangladesh. All cowards to the core. Maybe too harsh a word, please forgive me. But that was a sad realization. Traumatized people 😞 so communism amd CPIM etc in Bengal is more of a Mask to cover the cowardice than an ideological understanding and commitment. Fear drove them there.
And once they feel RSS is there to stay...all will flip to BJP like a long lost brother in a mela - with total and fanatical commitment to Hindutva unlike any other place in the country.
This is NOT national interest. This is analysis of past government. These days CTC has more clutter and "National Interest" has nothing to do with National Interest.
Very true.

@@roadrash999bro every pm has same basic infrastructure on which he builds his policies . Yes Aadhar was there but Modi used it very wisely by bringing digital india and then linked Aadhar with bank accounts which led to successful implementation of UPI , even Chidambaram and other congress leaders questioned that how illiterate people will use UPI which suggest that even former finance minister has no idea about UPI and its future . Do not give credit to other just because you hate Modi . Modi has changed india in 10 years believe it or not . Just Road infrastructure is enough for me to vote for Modi forget economy and foreign policy .
I remember during Dr. Manmohan Singh's PM tenure there was an entity called GoM- GROUP OF MINISTERS.
This GoM often used to act independently or according to the Party High Command without any consultation with PMO.
This severely undermined the PMO and as a result of which PM Manmohan Singh was reduced to look being helpless.
Therefore during UPA2 there was severe POLICY PARALYSIS.
On the other hand PM Narendra Modi is effective and efficient in taking critical policy decisions.
Very interesting video. Mr Gupta starts and and ends the video by stating how he is an admirer of Dr Singh and during the video paints the picture of a weak and ineffective man (certainly not a leader) who placed his loyalty towards a family above national interests. His tenure did more harm than good for the country as he watched mutely and helplessly. Good riddance I would say.

Thank you, Prakash, for watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
Shekhar - No use eulogizing Maun Mohan Singh... He is himself to be blamed for the sad plight he is currently in. Most of us blame him for Bharat to be bracketed with 2 infamous terms 'Fragile Five' and 'Policy Paralysis'... Being docile, incompetent, Mauni and obedient may be his epithet but being a complete doodle in front of 'Bhuri Kaki' is a trait that generally a 'Sardar' is not associated with... He could have and most certainly should have shown some spine and lambasted the house of Gandhis - nothing stopped him... For Chris sake - He was the 'Prime Minister'... To show some context - he seems to be worst than Gyani Jail Singh who had sadly said that he is ready to sweep the floor with a broom if Indira said so... What a travesty and a downfall of the mighty Sardars...
What a great episode SG sir!!! I'm truly an admirer of Dr. MMS. Undoubtedly, history will judge him far more kindly and with perspective. And, as a middle class Indian, I'm forever grateful to him for many things which I take for granted..
The family through party controlled the government ( often with poor governance / corruption) with PM being a nominated puppet. This exercise of power without accountability is what Rahul is used to and that explains his disconnect with people and public opinion.
I don't think so Dr Manmohan Singh was a bad prime minister.....atleast watching the condition now i see him as better PM who atleast used to listen to public and had conversations with media and opposition not like the one trying to suppress media and his critics
The problem was just that he wasn't able to have a complete control over his cabinet
UPA2 was a real tragedy. MMS is a great patriot, a true son if the soil. True Indian!
Very True 💯
Imagine SG saying he admired Modi too....
When the whole govt was going to dogs, corruption creeping Delhi, SG was sympathising with Dr MMS who let them all loose.

Power is toxic as proved in MMS case because he was happy being a puppet PM under Sonia Gandhi rule. It's unfortunate both MMS and Shekhar Gupta are servile to Sonia Gandhi family.

gandhis have done enuf damage to our democracy and to our economy - until PVN and Manmohan Singh (non-gandhis) came along. That's why we'll need a gandhi mukt Congress, not because I love BJP, but because India needs a Strong Opposition and a Strong Democracy ! With ganhdis and current coterie around, all you can expect is spineless countering and babbling over non-issues

Pran pritshta week ? Has he lost his mind… it’s 8/2/2024. Last time I checked a week use to have 7 days.
Manmohan was spineless greedy of power. The prove lies in the way held the chair even after being insulted day-in day-out. He wasn't PM, instead Sonia's P.A.
He was a RBI governor material being promoted to a PM without having any quality of a leader. This allowed open back door loot for the family & its lotas while this poor humble servant was left on front to greet people & media with namastee ji.
I always loved and admired and Dr. manmohan Singh. I was kid back then, but when I read somewhere that his personal vehicle was a maruti 800. I knew that he was as honest a person can be.
He was destroyed by the witch Sonia Gandhi and that self entitled stupid brat RG.
I used to see Sonia Gandhi with all the big leaders along with Manmohan on TV. And I used to think what is she doing doing out there. She is not PM or DPM just a party leader. But then later realised that she was actually the real PM and Dr. Manmohan was just a puppet.
I hope before he passes away he speaks up and tell the world what he went through and how his image was destroyed by the very people he trusted.
I will never vote for congress until Gandhi's are alive.

Happiest Breaking News Ever:
Eight Navy Veterans who were in Qatar jail for last 18 months have been released and returned to India.
It's big a win for our government and and it's foreign policy This government does care for it's people. They aren't left destitute like in Congress era. A big salute to the government for it's efforts and happy for the Navy veterans
Few months back, they were sentenced for life but with the continuos intervention of Indian government, they have been released and returned.
From an era where we forgot our prisoners of war to one where our navy veterans are coming home, despite all odds. Qatar arrested them on undeclared charges in August 2022. In Oct 2023, handed death penalty. And in 4 months, they’re home. Only Narendra Modi could have done it
Big Blow to ISI and CIA, who were trying to prove these veterans as spies of Israel. Also those Indians, who were wishing bad for them just to target PM Modi.
Such is their hatred for one man that the lefties, congis and other such people might have been praying hard that the veterans don't return, so that they can bash the government.
Today is a sad day for them and hope they have many more such sad days for next 50yrs atleast.
All veterans have thanked PM Modi for his effort to release them.

His brilliance needs to be celebrated. Sadly his own party relegates him.
I watched the accidental prime minister but somehow not able to gauge his character the worst that can happen to someone holding public office is that he is a puppet of family still and thinks of that person is holding most important position of india . Made of mockery of himself plz dont be kind to him till this day that person didnt open his mouth he is almost dead from inside . To come think of how some country make someone salve for 200 years because persons like him exists and somehow hold the most important position of india . Thanks to congress 🎉😂🎉
There was more than 14% hindi population in Pakistan. Now it below 1%.
If same thing was happened in india,........??
In 1951, Tamils constituted 7.43% of Indian Population. Now it is reduced to 5.9 %. Hindi Speaking population in India in 1951 was 42.01 %. Now it is 59.09 %. - Census data.
Spam comment unrelated to the video.
I think Mr. Singh was super smart, in a way that he knew he won’t be getting the third term and Mr. Rahul would be getting it.. so he stayed quiet, didn’t defend his party. Getting his revenge on Rahul making sure he is defeated just by staying quiet.
😂😂
If Mr. Singh thought loyalty to the family was quite important, he had no right to show it at the cost to the nation. Personal choices are what they are, personal. He is being judged because he put his personal preferences above the country, however intelligent he may be
Mr. Gupta - am surprised that yiu still have respect for a person who oulled down the country and allowed mayhem to continue by clinging onto his chair! Despite all the insults showered on him by his own appointees and showing files and taking approvals from a extra-constitutional person! How a person with conscious can do it? Am astonished/shocked at your statement. Good luck Mr. Gupta.
After Patel, Narsimha Rao, Pranab Mukherjee BJP is claiming (or at least praising) Manmohan Singh... & Congress is clueless 😂
I think BJP should not claim Manmohan... He was neither a good leader, nor a great economist(it's all hype)
He definitely doesn't deserve to be in the list of great personalities like Patel, PV Narasimha Rao. In fact, PV Narasimha Rao deserves credit of liberalisation but people have become so sympathetic towards Manmohan & portrayed him as a genius... This narrative overshadowed PVN.
How much great he may be ( as your credit) he betrayed his countrymen. Sonia and Rahul should have been jailed years back. MMS is solely responsible. God will never forgive. You too Shekhar should align with dharma rather than your perslonal feelings.
He was NO SAINT. He was equally guilty.
Very well articulated
Respect for the noble man ❤
Total crap. How did the loyality to the country becomes lesser than the loyality to a family. You may think that you can just talk out of the atrocities his government did on indian economy, strategic affairs, politics by talking about how some X person who died use to think that he was selfless, this selflessness means nothing to me if its lower than the loyality to some family. I want the selflessness to be like mr modi. Nothing above the nation. Period. Nothing more said .
PM who said Minorities had more power on indias resources, what a shame after pakistan was formed to house them?
I agree with Shekhar on most points but demanding just ONE MAN ie Dr. Manmohan singh, to be a star performer, every-single-time , amongst literally the worst team-mates & grilling him for not winning the match..... is Cruel. Rather than going after one man, the entire system needs to be questioned. Why was institution of PM office allowed to be so shamelessly manhandled by a political dynasty? Dr. Manmohan singh exercised good judgment in his personal capacity and was rightly praised by PM Modi in parliament today. surprisingly a wonderful courtesy shown by PM Modi, this elevates Modi's stature as a leader.
2014 was the answer to Gandhis not Man Mohan singh ji
Good analysis!
wow… this episode was real gold. i always admire dr singh and many a times run into arguments with modi admirers. but yes you are right, UPA 2 was a disaster and congress is paying price for it till today.
Manmohan Singh's good quality was his loyalty for the dynasty. That's why he reached higher positions.
He's not a Genius or GGrrreat economist. He's just a mediocre economist.
@mk, all SG was trying to say was Sonia and RG were very good but MMS was just not ok, hope you understand how to read between lines.
Fair points, Narula ji. I'm glad you liked this article and episode. Do keep watching us, and thank you for your support...best wishes, Shekhar
As Mr.Manmohan Singh had correctly mentioned about him being an appointed PM rather than an elected PM .
Perhaps the most honest PM but in the wrong party .
That family should never come to power in India again...
What i understand is it was a political master stroke.
Manmohan Singh ji ne Gandhi family ka paap ka ghada bharne diya.
Had that not happened we would have not got Modiji.
Article 370 and Ram Mandir would have never been achieved by today.
Just imagine, how on earth, today's Congress would have ever thought of creating this kind of magnificent Parliament.
There is a saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is doing mistake".
This is exactly what Dr. Singh did.
He let them do all the bad things which ultimately culminated in the end of Congress and Gandhi family rule
What Manmohan ji did in 10 yrs.. Modi ji did it in 2 yrs......Modi ji is a blessing for India
"Instead of questioning why Manmohan Singh didn't resign around 2010, the real inquiry should focus on how the Congress party has continued to tolerate the arrogance and incompetence attributed to the Gandhi family by its critics."
Man Mahon will go down as India's most helpless powerful man. He was a superb economist though.
I remember i cast my first vote (last vote also to congress )to congress because of Manmohan Singh ji in 2009.
Mr Gupta, Your ending statement about history judging him positively because he overlooked his personal interest over his feudal loyalty, is a nonsensical point. Shouldn’t his loyalty lie with the people of his country, period? He will be judged as a traitor to the his countrymen, unfortunately.
