    • The Indian Express Tags : 19 cabinet minister, sworn in Posted: Saturday , May 23, 2009 at 0215 hrs

    Among those ministries was shipping, road transport and highways under Baalu. In a coalition, that too with allies as

    demanding as the DMK has proven itself to be, the prime minister will have limited scope for holding non-Congress ministers accountable. But having weathered for now the DMK’s threats, Dr Singh must raise the bar since his first term. His new mandate gives him the comfort of greater numbers, and also the burden of greater expectations.

    19 Signals..EditorialBy: Vedanarayanan Andanallur | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward Had the PM really wanted absolute majority in the next election for the party, the tainted minister against whom serious charge of 1000s of crores scam is pending, should have beeb excluded and criminal proceedings should have been initiated. On the contrary the same person is not only included against public discent, he has been given the same Communication portfolio, to enable him to destroy evidences in case inquiry proceedings commence and also to indulge in more scams of higher order. This is nothing but allowing daylight robbery. The party will have to pay a heavy price for this leniency to Karuna. Maran would have been the right person for Communications. PM remaining firm in case of TR Baalu is commendable however.But this has eclispsed his attitude towards Raja and is inexcusable. People will not forget this act.
    MystifiedBy: Nirpinder | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward I disagree with the crux of the article that only "performers" have been included in the new Ministry. Sharad Pawar hardly meets the definition of one. A person incharge of a Ministry that is crucial to the Indian Economy spent a large part of his time as Minister working for the BCCI and officiating at Cricket Games. An impartial assessment of his previous stint hardly supports the contention of his being a performer.
    Manmohan on the second InningsBy: vaidya | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward Manmohan singh on his second successful innings takes as a challenge to further improve his strategy to run the Govt.on a firm ground away from all sorts of fraudulent free and fully transparent administration,thereby create History in the Indian democracy and have time to hear opposition leaders opinion even though they have lost their no in the parliament,so that avoid pressures fromall his other allied parties.He set a example of himself as Leader of the House and do his Best to the community at large.He shoudl further find way and means to dig out resources and making every citizen to wrok for the best of naion.He should make his team of ministries work like a Team with great co ordination amongst themselves in paramount interest of the country at lage and take care every part of the states interest.A CORRUPT FREE GOVT SHOWS THE MUST DESIRED PROGRESS INT EH NEXT 5 YEARS AND THE ENTIRE NATION IS SET THEIR EYES ON THE LEADER AND ITS PARTY.JAIHIND.
    Family SagaBy: Srinivasan | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward What a shame. One family of the country is taking the whole country to ransome. If Karuna has to accomodate his warring factions of the family he should do it in his ministry in Tamil Nadu.Thank God Stalin has been given charge of Tamil Nadu. Otherwise he would have needed 10 Cabinet berths to accommodate his family. He cannot take the country to ransome. I dread to imagine if the same starts happening with lalu(who has 9 children), mulayam and other leaders.If Dr Manmohan Singh had his way he would have put his foot down. But he is helpless since the decision is taken at 10, Janpath. God Alone can save this country from these regional so called leaders.
    All the bestBy: Arun Basrur | 23-May-2009 Reply | Forward I can only hope and pray that the Congress would have learnt from past mistakes and will now concentrate on delivering good governance to the people of India rather than petty infighting. Luckily this time around there is Rahul Gandhi and young people like him, who are like a breath of fresh air. They are going to be the people who do the actual hard work in this government (not to say that the others will be totally incompetent). That is why the people of India have voted with into power with such a huge mandate. For the sake of all citizens of India, I hope the Congress delivers.
