Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was unable to reply to the debate on the confidence motion passed in the Lok Sabha — thanks to the din and interruptions by fellow MPs. Finally, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee ruled that the written speech was deemed to have been read. This is what Pariament did not hear — Manmohan Singh’s most bitter, scathing attack against both the BJP’s Prime Minister-in-waiting L.K. Advani and CPM general secretary Prakash Karat.
“The Leader of Opposition, Shri L K Advani has chosen to use all manner of abusive objectives to describe my performance. He has described me as the weakest Prime Minister, a nikamma PM, and of having devalued the office of PM. To fulfill his ambitions, he has made at least three attempts to topple our government. But on each occasion his astrologers have misled him. This pattern, I am sure, will be repeated today.
At his ripe old age, I do not expect Shri Advani to change his thinking. But for his sake and India’s sake, I urge him at least to change his astrologers so that he gets more accurate predictions of things to come. As for Shri Advani’s various charges, I do not wish to waste the time of the House in rebutting them. All I can say is that before levelling charges of incompetence on others, Shri Advani should do some introspection.
