Amazing resume
I think President Bush’s resume will be zero compare to Dr. Manmohan Singh’s resume.
Harpreet Singh Hundal said
Now this is a person who undoubtedly deserves to be PM of country irepective of the party which comes into power and his credentials speaks loudly for itA person with such a vast knowledge and experience deserves to be on top post. I think BJP should also project and support people like Manmihan Singh or if for political reasons they cannot support him then they should project Abdul Kalam as thier pM candidate rather than loose talking, fire emitting political persons.
Political parties should think about the interest of nation first rather then thinking of their self interst.
