Leave Mr. Mani Shanker Aiyer alone. focuss on attacking Karat.By: Sympathiser | Friday , 4 Sep '09 11:51:47 AM Reply | Forward Leave Mr. Mani Shanker Aiyer alone. focuss on attacking Karat.Let us Beg to Dr. Manmohan Sing to remove the word "Socialist" from our constitution with the aproval of Madom, whose mother in law installed that word in constitution to get some perks from Soviet Union. Once that word is gone, all cong men will forget all old stupid populist slogtans like "garibi Hatao..swedeeshi etc"BJP could have done that when they were in power. I have an idea, what about Dr. Manmohan Sing joining BJP. then he dont have to suffer burdens like Mr. Mani shanker Aiyyer. Let us campaign for that.
Marxist AiyerBy: J.M.Manchanda | Tuesday , 28 Oct '08 20:02:43 PM Reply | Forward This reads like an outburst from a disgruntled minister. Every one knows that Mani Shanker Aiyer i a brilliant and articulate man. But that's not a qualification for an important portfolio.As Minister of Panchayti Raj, he feels marginalised. It was reported that he complained to Sonia Gandhi that he knew nothing about Panchayati Raj. She is believed to have retorted that he knew nothing about petroleum too. The point is you are given a job and you have to excel at it or quit. He was laways a Leftist . So are most people in their teens when they dream of an equal world. But on growing up, they realize that it does not even exist in the CPM's poliburo. The economic reforms made him a Marxist. He should admit that it is his dislike for PM, who didn'tt allot him his favorite portfolio that makes him question why credit for economic reforms should be given to Manmohan Singh. Marxism only created utopian states, which either collapsed or embraced capitalism.
