21. CRITICISM BY THE GLOBAL MEDIA
• WASHINGTON POST (Sept 5, 2012): The story of “i gh s dramatic
fall from grace in his second term in office and the slow but
steady tarnishing of his reputation has played out in parallel
with his cou tr s decline on his watch.
• INDEPENDENT (July 16, 2012) : …one of Mr Singh's problems is
that he has no genuine political power. Rather, he owes his
position to Sonia Gandhi, widow of former prime minister Rajiv
Gandhi, mother of Rahul and Congress Party chairwoman.
• TIME (July 16, 2012): Voters too are losing confidence, as rising
inflation and a litany of scandals chip away at the government's
credibility. In a recent national poll, nearly 66% of urbanites said
Prime Minister Singh and his coalition had lost the right to
govern.
