The other question is who should be the PM...Manmohan Singh - already started singing in favor of Rahul Gandhi - "I will do as the Madam Says", Rahul Gandhi, L K Advani, Mayawati. I personally don't think anyone is my candidate for PMs post. The better than all these people will be Navjot Singh Sidhu. Please share you comments and ask your friends colleagues to also throw some light. Best Regards Mandeep Vats www.desidieter.com www.healthji.com
