Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley has in a Facebook post said he would like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to answer five questions from him at his press conference today.
Among them, whether his term as Finance Minister two decades ago gave him more satisfaction than his stint as the Prime Minister, and how he thinks history will rate his prime ministership.
Here's what he said in his Facebook post:On the eve of the Prime Minister's press conference, please read my five questions to him.
The Prime Minister has decided to address the media on January 3rd, 2014. I would have liked to ask him the following questions.
1. In his opinion, how would history judge his tenure as Prime Minister of India?
2. Does his tenure as Finance Minister give him greater satisfaction than his tenure as the Prime Minister?
3. Since his government is perceived to be extremely corrupt, where does he feel he went wrong in not asserting himself when the situation so demanded?
4. Where does he feel he went wrong in the management of the economy which led to the breakdown of the investment cycle ?
5. Does he bear the Guilt of Institutional subversion (CBI, JPC, CVC, CIVIL SERVICE etc.) during his tenure as a Prime Minister?
