New Delhi: The Time Magazine in its
latest edition has targeted none other than Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, calling him 'The Underachiever' and flaying him and his
government, the UPA-II for failing to act at a time when India's growth
was slowing down.
Questioning Singh and the UPA's policies, Time said the PM,
appointed so by Congress President Sonia Gandhi despite never having won
an election, was "a man in shadow".
Criticising the PM for his "unwillingness to carry out reforms",
the magazine said that the PM "wasted the past three years". It also
questioned his ability to manage the Finance portfolio following Pranab
Mukherjee's exit.
Interestingly, in a previous article in March this year, the
magazine had a cover story on Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, and while it
lauded him for his development work across the state, the article
questioned his Prime Minsiterial ambitions.
Meanwhile, criticising the UPA, the magazine said, "The laws that
could help create growth and jobs are stuck in Parliament, sparking
concerns that politicians have lost the plot in their focus on
short-term populist measures that will win votes."
