"Sonia Gandhi accuses BJP of talking big"; What does it mean ? If the words meant to terrorise the former adviser Sanjay Baru, throwing bomb shell on the internal transparency of PMO , grossly misused by the power head herself , while making the Prime Minister a puppet .
PM's former media adviser Sanjaya Baru claimed that Manmohan Singh's government was actually being run by Sonia Gandhi, another retired bureaucrat, PC Parakh reiterated the same view when he also claimed in his new book that the PM was undermined by his own office (PMO) and other ministers.
Singh chose Sanjay Baru as his media adviser and tasked him to be his ‘eyes and ears’ after the party president took the high moral ground to give up power and chose Singh as the head of a Congress-led coalition government, Singh as PM had no illusion with whom the power centre rested. Baru’s eyes and ears absorbed for five years the most critical behind the curtain play of political decisions, which got branded as Singh’s decisions.
Article 74 of the Constitution describes the PM’s uniqueness — “There shall be a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister at the head to aid and advise the President who shall, in the exercise of his functions, act in accordance with such advice.”
It also barred courts from enquiring into the content and nature of the PM’s advice to the President. The Constitution makers thought it fit to bind him by an oath of secrecy apart from the oath of office.
The most startling claim in Baru’s book was that PMO official Pulok Chatterjee had “regular, almost daily meetings with Sonia Gandhi in which he was to brief her…and seek her instructions on important files to be cleared by the PM.”
Can the PM and PMO share the content of these sensitive files on policy decisions with anyone outside the Union council of ministers? Will this not amount to violation of oath of secrecy taken by the PM and his ministers?
INDIA HONEST regrets to the status of the prime minister of India , regularly blamed by most as the weakest prime minister India had in last six decades. People of the nation has right to know , how India can be regarded as strong and proud nation, if the top face of the nation , the prime minister is regarded as a puppet and that this PM was bent by the party president.
Dr. Singh being an obedient soldier under Madam Sonia, always toeing the Sonia line in to to in the government .Even many files were approved and signed by the prime minister, even without seeing the contents.
It is grossly illegal and unconstitutional, if what Baru said is to be understood in its gravity that "PMO official Pulok Chatterjee had regular, almost daily meetings with Sonia Gandhi in which he was to brief her…and seek her instructions on important files to be cleared by the PM.”
IH finds justification in what the BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "If Congress has only been able to provide an “accidental PM” in Manmohan Singh and is projecting a “reluctant” one in Rahul Gandhi, the best choice before the nation is a willing and able PM candidate in Narendra Modi ".
Even if we may have our own view on Narendra Modi, but there is no hesitation in acknowledging the view by the intelligentsia, who now strictly oppose Congress,led by the dominant Sonia Gandhi winning the power once again after "Baru's serious Revelation" , hurting the independence and dignity of Indian people , who want India to be governed by a strong, independent and visionary person, not a reluctant or puppet person.
