Modi doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because it’s extempore.)
Manmohan also doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because someone else has written it and he’s given it at the last moment.)
Modi has earned the right to be called Shadow Prime Minister.
Today the Prime Minister was in Modi’s Shadow.
Ask not what the country can do for you, ask not what you can do for the country, ask nothing, say nothing.
—Manmohan Singh

Congressman: Sigh! No Independence from Modi even on Independence Day!
Q: Sir what did you think of India’s Independence Day speech.
Manmohan Singh: Theek tha, but he shouldn’t have attacked me so much!

The problem with watching Manmohan Singh’s speech is that I funnily get the feeling that any time now he’s going to burst into tears.
This is the first time in our history that Prime Minister’s Independence Day Speech was overshadowed in hours.
People even listened to Deve Gowda’s Hindi speech with attention.
Remember the good ole school debating days.
First candidate comes, speaks diffidently, second takes his content and rips it apart.
Why is this being touted as Manmohan’s last I-Day speech?
What if he emerges as a consensus candidate in a badly hung Parliament in 2014?
