The missing Coalgate files could well be part of a huge cover up operation. All eyes will be on the Supreme Court when it takes up the matter next Tuesday to see what observations it makes. For now the Nation just as the opposition demands answers from the 'no-responsibility' prime minister.br br Once upon a time cynics like me thought we hit the motherlode and what i mean is that those of us who always wanted a PM we thought could rise above petty politics and teh mindless rhetoric were happy and we had good reason to be. Manmohan Singh was NOT your typical politician. He was cleaner somehow more intellectually inclined. We all thought that but over the last 8 and half years or to be more specific. Some 3 three years ago we saw a change . Dr Singh never spoke much anyway man of few words he was but three years of being let down by his ministers, his govt and his party colleagues teh PM has adopted an even stonier silence. His party has become more aggressive while defending him and Dr Singh says in response to teh coal gate scam hazzaron jawaabon se achi hai meri khamoshi shaayad kitne sawaalon ki aabru rakhe.
