Renuka said somewhere above:- "As a senior manager in an MNC for the past 12 years, can confidently say that the elite, educated lot are all hands down for Mr. Manmohan Singh as the leader to lead India" :) we know managers' opinions are not respected by team members. That apart, although the accusations levelled against Advani are almost fair enough, the point about the first question asked of Singh seems facile. Reporters might have read up Singh's bio on Wikipedia and asked him an economy-related question, while the same procedure might lead them to ask Advani about the Babri demolition. So that's a silly comparison. But for people who don't have the patience to trudge through 986 pages of megalomania, this article is a good precis.
