India Burning....

I am no fan of this government, but reading the same kind of news (Bomb blast here, riots there) is beginning to get on my nerves. The PM, good guy he might be, is a puppet in the hands of "Madam" and his cabinet is filled with by and large half-wit, good for nothing ministers...lets take a look at them...

Please note that this is entirely my opinion. Dont complain abt lack of facts. Entirely my opinion and probably biased opinion.

Rating

5 - default rating/average performance
>5 - obviously good
<5 - obviously bad
Pranab Mukherjee - Minister of External Affairs : Vision less External policy under this government...not sure how much he is responsible for it but that's what it is. The only thing to show for is the Nuclear deal...and that is yet to materialize in a manner that won't be considered detrimental to our nuclear power aspirations.

5/10

Arjun Singh - Minister of Human Resource Development : Continues the great work started by his look a like VP Singh. He has made the task of destroying whatever little is left of our homogeneity in to an art form.

0/10

Sharad Pawar - Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution : The only thing on his mind is BCCI and ICC presidentship...not the suicides of farmers.

2/10

Lalu Prasad Yadav - Minister of Railways : Whether it is coz of him or Nitish Kumar before him or simply the effort of the officials, Indian Railway is making money. I just hope it translates into better travel experience, cleaner stations. I can give him the benefit of the doubt.

6/10

Shivraj V. Patil - Minister of Home Affairs : He has made a mockery of the post of Home Minister. I think he epitomizes incompetence. Never has the internal security of our country looked so shabby...Naxals are stronger than ever, NE is still unstable...Kashmir is more unstable than a few yrs back...well I can go on and on...

0/10

Abdul Rehman Antulay - Minister of Minority Affairs : Hmm cant comment on him...so he gets the default rating.
