Yes PM has accepted on live question answer session with leading TV channels News editor that he had to respect the compulsions of Coalition Government.
"We are aware of our moral responsibility of our government but have to compromise many decisions because of compulsions coalition government. " .. interpretation ...so we can't stop corrupt ministers and can not sack them or take any kind of action against them .
1. " Indian voter voted us to lead the UPA . "
To give a responsible governance and to take right decision to put India on the path of development and to STOP corruption (Nitesh Modi is doing better in Bihar)
2. "Parliamentary session should be resumed ..It is not good for nation."
Resume For What ?? To appoint another A Raja , Andother Kalmadi to make minister and pass their bills and tenders to their personal companies....
3. "Never thought of resigning from the post of Primeminister. We have unfinished business "
oops , More scams to come . Many more ministers to be protected. More inflation. What PM is doing ? He can't stop their ministers from doing corruption , reason behind inaction coalition government . Now we can understand what do you mean when you say "Unfinished Business".
4. "Government will not hesitate to take action against corrupt".
Ha Ha Ha. PM you couldn't even accept A Raja as corrupt minister due to compromise of coalition government in Live Question answer session. Despite CBI director clearly said that at least $ 10 Billion revenue was lost because of A Raja.
5. "India still is a poor country...."
Bastard PM : When you accept this fact , why you spent luxuriously on CWG , Even why did we need CWG in India at first place. Only to make one more avenue to siphon off Indian public money to congress account
6. "India is not a country of corruption , Allegations of corruption against UPA government spoiled India's reputation."
Corruption charges of $50 Billion dollars in barely 14 months , and CBI confirming at least 50% of them. What else we need India to tag a epiccenter of corruption in world.
7. "Biggest regret : Some IRREGULARITIES has happened which should not has been happened " .
Still he is calling The scams of $ 50 Billion dollars as IRREGULARITIES ... Compulsion of coalition government .. He can't even select proper words.
8. In Oct "We will identify and punish the criminals in 90 days".
today Feb 16 in live press conference :.
"There are legal procedures and we can not skip them" .
Didn't you know in October that Indian has so many legal procedures and even PM instructions can't speed up the process to book the culprit.
What I can understand that you were just bluffing in October to save kalmadi and postponed investigation in CWG cases, Now Congress has A Raja and 2 G to divert the whole nation from CWG scam to 2G .
Congress is in difficulties becaus of 2G scam , but Sonia and Manmohan must be thanking A RAJA and DMK , so that Congress can save Kalmadi and Ashok Chavan (Wohi Aadrsh Society ).
And every media wala has forgotten the CWG scam ,Aadarsh society scam.
9. I'm not as big a culprit as I'm made out to be.
Such statement can come only after proper knowledge of BIG CULPRITs. If you can tell us that you are not big culprit then tell us who are the BIG CULPRITs if you coalition government allows that. :)
10. We have dealt with black money. Effort on revise, assign treaties to get info on black money hoarding.
What are you talking about Manmohan ???? Are you going to deal with SWISS accounts in name of Sonia Gandhi / Nehru / Indira Gandhi / Rajiv Gandhi ??
or You are talking about black money earned and deposited by Indian business man or opposition leaders . As you and your government always does blaming Yeddi , Arun shouri , etc etc. For me you execute both BJP leader no problem but before that Hang A Raja , Kalmadi , Sharad Pawar etc etc (Long list) in front of public.
And tell me one thing ManMohan. Are you going to get this money back in India for Indian public only ??? or will it go to congress accounts? :) be honest (Yes yes this word is still there in Dictionaries , It means doing whatever you are saying!!!).
Click here to check the original article from schweizer illustrierte Magazine .
Why Sonia Gandhi / Rahul Gandhi , Priyanka Gandhi and other Congress loyals don't bother to sue the magazine schweizer illustrierte for defaming Late Rajiv Gandhi ji ki Soul. This is strange !!!!
Magazine is not like street magazine of 2 pages , It has one of the large reader base in Switzerland and circulation is well above 2 lacs (0.2 Millions).
Under the image of Rajiv Gandhi some text is written in french. It reads : "Tot 2,5 Milliarden Franken auf indischen geheimkonten in der schweiz." . Which is translated as "Tot 2.5 billion francs on Indian secret accounts in switzerland".
1.03 swiss franc is equal to 1 USD . so it comes as 2.5 billion USD .
