India will get back to high growth: Chidambaram
The government on Monday attacked the BJP's criticism of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's performance as 'distasteful' and exuded confidence of taking the economy out of the present 'trough' and back to high growth.
"I think the most charitable way to describe that comment is extremely distasteful. I wonder what he (BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad) said when he read the article on (former Prime Minister Atal Bihari) Vajpayeeji in June 2002," Home Minister P. Chidambaram said.
He was reacting to BJP's demand for the resignation of the Prime Minister following Time magazine's description of him as an 'underachiever'.
Referring to a Time magazine write up in 2002 after the Gujarat riots that was critical of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihar Vajpayee, Chidambaram asked BJP leaders not to make too much of magazine articles.
"The title of that article was 'Asleep at The Wheel' and the last line of that article Mr Prasad should read," he said about the piece on Vajpayee.
Commenting on the Time magazine's latest article, the Home Minister said the UPA-II was confident that it would overcome the present economic situation.
"Short answer to your question can PM rouse himself ? Answer is yes. This government will get India out of the present trough. We will get back to high growth...That is the answer to the Time Magazine article," he said.
Chidambaram said the magazine also recalled the splendid achievement of UPA -I.
"...then (the magazine) said in UPA-II, can the Prime Minister rouse himself ? The answer is of course. We are confident that we will get out of this trough and we will get back to the high growth,'' he said.

From my press release dated June 27, 2012 which inspired the Indian govenment's move to provide free medicines to hundreds of millions after it inspired Sandhya Jain's column in The Pioneer, then Manmohan Singh's E-Mail interview and the BJP's Yashwant Sinha's response to Manmohan Singh's E-Mail interview though he was intimidated by being booked in Jharkhand for 'obstructing traffick' in 2008 right after my press release; now it has inspired Mamata Banerjee's letter -- drafted by RAW as most of her demands are -- to Manmohan Singh demanding lower fertiliser prices for farmers, though the Indian media are still too intimidated by RAW to report on the content of my press release and both the Patriot Editor R. K. Mishra and The Pioneer Editor Chandan Mitra were made members of the Rajya Sabha for helping to keep the lid on my press releases; see 'What You Should Know About RAW': WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom :-
Manmohan Singh at the G-20 meeting in Mexico on June 18 '12 pledged $10 billion to the IMF to help European countries such as Greece and Italy cope with debt but will not use the money to help tens of thousands of Indian farmers committing suicide due to indebtedness or hundreds of millions of India's malnourished children. He seeks foreign investment -- that is, foreign ownership and control of India -- but will not invest the hundreds of billions of dollars he has given to the United States government -- in exchange for U.S. Treasury bonds -- in India. This is not even counting the unlimited amount of capital available to India by simply printing the money so long as it is used for productive purposes: HowIndiasEconomyCanGrowDOTblogspotDOTcom . An example of foreign investment being trumpeted today by Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma is a $5 billion investment in India announced by Coca Cola to give Indians harmful-to-health beverages and replace healthier and tastier Indian beverages. Such examples of American rule over India in economic, military and all spheres can be multiplied hundreds of times. India's nuclear forces have been accused in the past of presenting photo-shopped non-existent missiles and non-existent nuclear warheads but India's nuclear warheads emplaced in U.S. cities since then are not non-existent : NuclearSupremacyForIndiaOverUSDOTblogspotDOTcom . If it is the non-existence of "knowledge, intelligence, courage and character" which is responsible for their not having triggered the warheads, with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be destroyed if there is any retaliation, it is MY responsibility to provide the knowledge, intelligence, courage and character; all they have to do is obey India's legitimate ruler and it is high time they did so without further delay: SatyamShivamSundaramSatishChandraDOTblogspotDotcom .
