Farewell Mr. Prime Minister

A man of few words which has also been the cause of ire of the Indian public and fuel for satire by the Social media , his entry into politics also was a forced one, where in 1991 former Prime Minister at that time, Mr P.V. Narasimha Rao, chose Singh to be his Finance Minister and had sent his Principal Secretary to him telling him that ‘the PM would like you to become the Minister of Finance’ which he hadn’t taken seriously He was tracked down the next morning, was told to get dressed up and come to Rashtrapati Bhavan for the swearing in and that was how he was inducted in the cabinet.   The Cambridge and Oxford educated Mr. Singh was also known to have spearheaded the economic liberalization of the country which was why he was chosen by Mr Rao for his strong economic acumen and also by virtue of him holding many important advisory positions in the Government, including that of the Chief Economic Advisor. He will hold his last Cabinet Meeting on May 17th and address the nation before he bids farewell to the nation as the 13th Prime Minister, but will still be seen in the Parliament as a Rajya Sabha member where his term will continue till 2019.

US ready to roll red carpet to Modi

  So far, US government has been refusing to grant visa to Narendra Modi in connection with Godra riots in 2002, but it is ready to revoke its decision after seeing his chances to become Prime Minister of India are bright.   US State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki speaking to media said, “Heads of state and heads of government are eligible for A1 visa classification under the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act). No individual automatically qualifies for a US visa."   Obama government might have realized that continuing the ban on Narendra Modi will harm the bilateral relations between two countries and especially it will adversely affect its business interests in India. So, it takes out the rule book from drawer and saying Modi can be allowed to visit USA.
