A sheer waste of Calibre and wisdom in political shadows.

I think he is the best PM we have had so far.He is the author of original economic reforms that started in 1991. He is soft spoken.That should not be mistaken for weakness. The spirited reply he gave to the Nuclear debate the other day in Parliament made the media sit up and take notice and ask the question "has PM Manmohan come of age?". He is the best qualified and most knowledgeable PM. He is not a puppet.It will be most unfair to him to say that.

Perhaps you would be rated him a good PM, had he openly accepted bribe in suit cases from persons like Harshad Mehta.
Perhaps you would have rated him as a shrewd and talented PM, if he came to politics through petty politicking; knowing nothing other than money-making through shady deals;
Perhaps you would have rated him as a very popular PM, if he had been a character less college drop-out, not having wasted his midnight oil, in western universities, winning academic degrees, with scholarships;
Perhaps, had he been born in a country other than India, where talent and character are held in high esteem, he would have been rated as the best PM.

he is a puppet of sonia in making of political decision but he is good PM in regard of economical decision.
he is an intelligent that's why he is working on consensus with left as well as sonia's congress party.
its true that before taking in decision he is getting permission from right (sonia gandhi) and left friend. without such permission he can't move any decision.
