Fowl Talk About a “Lame Duck PM”

Politics in India need not be always very serious! Take this conversation for instance. Some journalists talking about cornered Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh brushing aside widespread criticism that he was a “lame duck” leader presiding over a government mired in graft and policy paralysis, but offering little in way of policy steps he would take up to resolve the matter.

Plz don’t make him repeat the class. RT @ibnlive: Nitin Gadkari: PM failed in his examination on controlling price rise & inflation

 

@sidin: Manmohan Singh will meet editors on a weakly basis.

@SaqibReports :

 

Hey stop roasting him. He said he’s not a lame duck. ;-)

 

@senanirban86 :

 

So should we grill him then since he’s running around like headless chicken? ;-)

 

@SaqibReports :

 

That’s fowl talk !

 

@senanirban86 :

 

 Well, I’m not the one who’s being chicken-hearted here ;-) #manmohansingh

 

@SaqibReports 

 

Oh don’t keep ducking the real issue.

 

@senanirban86 :

 

 I’m not. It’s a fact that we have a turkey of a PM running the country ;)

 

@SaqibReports :

 

 I think, for a henpecked Duck (lame or otherwise) #MMS does just fine. #ManMohanSingh #PM

 

@senanirban86 :

 

 Now who’s being bird-brained :P

 

@SaqibReports :

 

 It’s a feather in his cap (or turban) that he can lead India at all. Politics here can make the best go cuckoo!

 

@senanirban86 :

 

 Now i’m running out of cocky adjectives to describe his tenure :P #MMS

 

@SaqibReports :

 

 And I still think #MMS can fix the bugs in ur system. The early Surd catches the worm, u know. #FowlTalk

 

@senanirban86 :

 

 Seems like you have a Surd’s-eye view of things ;-) #MMS

 

@DivyaReports :

 

 All said n done d PM is no spring chicken. Doesn’t have any objection to young Rahul succeeding him#FowlTalk

                                                                    

@senanirban86 :

 

 Yeah, Rahul would take to the job like a duck takes to water #FowlTalk
