CRITICISM BY THE GLOBAL MEDIA

June 21, 2013

• WASHINGTON POST (Sept 5, 2012): The story of “i gh s dramatic fall from grace in his second term in office and the slow but steady tarnishing of his reputation has played out in parallel with his cou tr s decline on his watch.

• INDEPENDENT (July 16, 2012) : …one of Mr Singh's problems is that he has no genuine political power. Rather, he owes his position to Sonia Gandhi, widow of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, mother of Rahul and Congress Party chairwoman.

• TIME (July 16, 2012): Voters too are losing confidence, as rising inflation and a litany of scandals chip away at the government's credibility. In a recent national poll, nearly 66% of urbanites said Prime Minister Singh and his coalition had lost the right to govern.
