Smt Sonia Gandhi,

New Delhi

Dear Madam,

In the economic liberalisation era that commenced in India in 1991, the credit for which is being given to economist Dr Manmohan Singh. what has been achieved during the last two decades is the extremities of rich & poor, as can be seen in the enclosed Planning Commission data, and the spread of Naxals to larger part of India & bloodshed.

While India's National Policy on Housing considers "Shelter is a basic human need next only to food and clothing" (http://xrl.us/bh6edr), Affordable Housing, under Dr Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister, has remained only on paper unlike in Brazil (one of the 4 BRIC Countries having high growth) where social development got equal importance under President Mr Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (not sold out to Capitalists) and his party has been able to elect Ms Dilma Rousseff as the next President.

Considering the total ineffectiveness of Dr Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister, on every front listed below, it is high time that he is replaced by a competent & effective administrator who can ensure rule of law, transparency in working and making administration accountable to the public. Sooner the better for the mankind.

Regards,

Dr Manmohan Singh,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

I am the king of the house and I have the permission of my wife to say so. That is what I read on the wall of one house few decades back. While working at someone's mercy and operating on borrowed authority that is the situation in which I can visualise you to be.

Further, during your tenure as the Prime Minister of India, you have:

· Leave apart improving transparency in administration, you have never uttered a single world to improve transparency in administration. And, you have miserably failed on this count.

· Leave apart improving accountability of administration towards the citizens, you have not shown the courage to utter a single world that you would make the administration accountable to the citizens. And, your performance in this regard is painfully dismal.

· Leave apart reducing corruption in public administration, during your entire career you never mentioned zero tolerance for corruption to help masses to get what has been legitimately due to them. And, you have been at the centre stage of administrative decisions increasing high level corruption in India. Huge amount of money that lawfully belongs to the citizens of India but swallowed by corrupt elements in politics, in business, in bureaucracy for more than six decades has still not brought back lying in the banks of other countries. What all I have been informed is that the Govt is seized of the matter.

· Official Secrets Act 1923 enacted by the British Rulers, for the reasons best known to you, is still not repealed.

· You have simply not done anything to save the nascent Right to Information Act 2005 but allowed it to be butchered by the bureaucrats & public servants by abusing the authority and more so CIC / State CICs. You have even weakened RTI by taking out Directorate of Income Tax (Investigation) of the purview of RTI so that high level financial malpractices and political corruptions do not come out in the open, You have knowingly allowed DoPT to have extra-constitutional authority in the matter of "File Notings".

· You have preferred not to implement the fundamental right to education of the children of this country & thereby keeping them as illiterates. I really feel ashamed at your performance on this.

· You have not changed the National Water Policy 2002 (that permits private ownership of water reservoirs) despite my repeated requests, you are allowing commercialisation of water and you have not ensured that the citizens of this country get clean water to quench their thirst and remain alive.

· What all you have done is provide housing to the nearly three percent of the citizens and you have not fulfilled even ten percent of the target of providing shelter as covered in National Housing Policy. Urban Land Ceiling Act is repealed / SFIs are increased / mammoth size loans are given out of our money to the builder lobby to mint money. But no houses are in sight for the citizens who have no shelter. Even the recent Congress Manifesto is silent on housing that the basic necessity of life next only to food.

· By commercialisation of medical facility while not improving the condition of the Govt run hospitals, you have ensured that millions of young children remain rickety if they survive their first birthday.

· In urban area, people, by & large, get 24X7 power supply while in rural area, they remain at the mercy of Almighty to get supply.

· In railway trains, unreserved ticket passengers travel in inhuman condition in overcrowded coaches. Same is the case of the jails where jail inmates since occupancy rates in umpteen no. of jails is more than two hundred percent.

· GINI Coefficient showing the ratio of rich vs poor citizens in the country is tending northward for India. By your economic policies, what all you have done is making rich the richer and poor the poorer thereby making them vulnerable to all sorts of exploitation.

· GINI Coefficient also show that urban population has richer not the rural population.

· So far as the justice delivery system is concerned, less said the better. You have just not done anything to ensure that a common man gets timely justice.

· As Chairman of Planning Commission of India, you have not published even on National Human Development Report during your entire tenure. And, you need to apologise the nation for this total failure.

· RTI information requested by me from your office says that the Government does not know as to how many persons died of hunger in India.

· Safety is provided at our cost to the big-wigs in the Y-category and Z-category & Z-plus category but measures are not taken to improve our safety.

In nutshell, that is what I view your performance.

That being the case and when you already have two heart surgeries and you are not so young at 76plus, can you tell me one good reason for following the instruction of your political boss to become the Prime Minister of India again?

Can you tell the nation that you are not capable of handling the responsibility and thereby save us?

It will be a great service to the human kind.

With warm regards,
