Manmohan Singh a man in shadow, underachiever: Time Magazine

Bangalore, Jul 8: Prime Minister of India, Dr

faced shocking criticism when Time Magazine called him an "underachiever" and a "man in shadow".

Criticising the prime minister and the government led by him, the magazine claimed, "India needs a reboot." The latest issue of the magazine, which has been published on Saturday, Jul 7, also asked, "Is Prime Minister Manmohan Singh up to the job?"

UPA government also has been slapped. The magazine hurled strong criticism against it saying, "The laws that could help create growth and jobs are stuck in parliament, sparking concerns that politicians have lost the plot in their focus on short-term populist measures that will win votes."

Calling Dr Singh 'a man in shadow', Time Magazine, however, gives some advice to the Indian Prime Minister. "India is stalling. To turn it around, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh must emerge from his private and political gloom," said the magazine.
