UPA II, Year I, No hits All Miss
On completion of one year in its second term UPA cancelled the celebrations because of AI tragedy in Mangalore . Instead, it decided on a press conference by PM, Manmohan Singh . I have never witnessed such a boring and meaningless press conference in many many years before. It is well known that PM is not a good speaker, but an honest man. Yet he hid more than what he spoke. He did speak but said nothing, nothing that was already known in terms of UPA's stand on various issues. Reporters present did not corner the PM and the credit goes to the floor managers of PM. There are several major areas on which PM could enlighten us but deliberately avoided to speak his mind out, like - reforms in labour, industrial, judicial, administrative, police etc. sectors, cause of delay in decision on Afzal Guru's petition, controversy regarding the auction of 2G spectrum, loop-holes in the cabinet w.r.t. collective responsibility, solution to Maoists problems, eradication of corruption,
