When AIADMK won the majority last time, There was a verdict against Jayalalitha in one of the several cases against her (I think it was TANSI case). So, she had to give up the Chief minister post temporarily. So she selected an obscure MLA from her party to be a place holder for that temporary period. His name was Panneer Selvam! He was never even a minister before.
As many of us are aware of the dominent personality of Jayalalitha. She would have been looking for a more sub-ordinate person (i.e. spineless). The rubber stamp candidate should be harmless, even if it means that the candidate is useless. That's exactly why the Panneer selvam was choosen.
It's another Irony that our Lalu, who was in a similar situation was not even able to find a trust-worthy candidate from his own party.
Maino Antonia (who is also known as Sonia) was in a similar condition, after the last parlimentary elections. The NDA led by the BJP did not have the necessary majority for forming the government. Supporting foreigners has been one of the consistent policies of Communists, so they decided to support the foreign lady for forming a government. There was a strong national sentiment against accepting Maino Antanio(a.k.a Sonia) as the Prime Minister. It still exists even today. So, Maino Antanio had to look for a rubber stamp. Hence, Our Manmohan Singh become the prime minister.
We have been known to misunderstand popularity for capability. Thats why we have been electing film-stars as M.L.As, M.Ps and even as Cheif Ministers. Just because some one has a Phd. from a foreign university, it does not mean that the person is a good administrator.
If you were involved in the hiring process for your company, you would have realized that people with flashy resume doesn't necessarily deliver on the job. Many times they don't even fit the job.
The purpose of this article is to examine what Manmohan Singh has been delivering during his tenure as Prime Minister. Did he make any difference Or did he manage to remain as Mr. Panneer Singh.
.... to be continued
I decided not to continue this article, because writing about Mr. Panneer Singh is not even worth it.
