Singh is king, Looks funny but Indian Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh prove that he is really a king. Before general elections 09 its predicted that not any single party can form govt. But congress comes in power after 8 year. That is because of Mr. Manmohan Singh. Its true that Gandhi family factor (Sonia, Priyanka and Rahul) also worked here, but don't forget Mr. Manmohan Singh. According to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam "In this election peoples of India voted for politics of development not for politics of politics" . And its true when all world survived with recession only India is lowest affected country by recession. Its just due to Indian govt's policies. May be I'm partially rite but we cant ignore capabilities of Indian govt for surviving in this recession time. Leta have a look qualification of Mr. Manmohan Sing
