At the bottom is a response of an angry Air Force wife. Rohini Athavale:

MY DEAR Mr. PRIME MINISTER

.

The credibility of the last bastion falls !

.

Mr. PRIME MINISTER,

.

May I as a citizen of this country kindly request you to quit for the following reasons :-

.

1. You are not an elected leader and hence have no right to be the Prime Minister of this country. You have made a backdoor entry....this is not democracy.

.

2. You lack OLQ(Officer-like-Qualities)...i am not interested in your > personal honesty as Manmohan Singh...I am concerned regarding your integrity and moral courage as the Prime Minister....you have none.

.

3. You do not have the guts to take responsibility on behalf of your subordinates...you pass the buck...you are a petty manager and not a leader.

.

4. You are corrupt...corruption is not restricted to making monetary gains...you are devoid of innovative ideas to instil checks and balances in your governance, incapable of creating responsibility &accountability through various layers of the hierarchy.

.

5. You are weak and dishonest...you refuse to acknowledge the mistakes you have made...awareness and acknowledgment are the first steps to change, followed by the desire and political will, the knowledge and ability and reinforce the commitment...you lack all these.

.

6. You do not have the courage to take tough decisions....you are a safe plodder...you are a survivor....you cannot take manageable risks.

.

7. You lack vision....when you say that you are a victim of coalition compulsions and express helplessness with a remark that "every six months we shall have elections, if I act", you behave like a class monitor who indulges in cheap popularity....act and see the result....your party shall come back with a thumping majority.

.

8. You lack loyalty to the country...you hold your party interests above that of the country....completion of 5-year term is more vital to you rather than governance of the nation....you are a custodian of Sonia Gandhi's interests rather than growth of the underprivileged and the poor

.

9. Blaming others is silly...let us never place the blame on others, but on our own attitudes.....Small-minded people habitually reproach others for their own misfortunes...Average people reproach themselves...Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom understand that the impulse to blame something or someone is foolishness, that there is nothing to be gained in blaming, whether it be others or oneself.

.

10. India deserves a young dynamic leader, not a senile, subservient, procrastinating sycophant....kindly do one last favor to this country....in your next cabinet reshuffle, hand in your resignation and things shall fall into place.

.

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister !!
