Despite someone remarking that only Indira Gandhi wears pants in the cabinet, I rate P.V.Narasimha Rao as the boldest PM that India ever had. Few examples for his boldness.
1. Establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel despite the vote bank politics of India and possible adverse reaction of muslim world.
2. Announcement from the ramparts of the red fort that the only unfinished agenda with Pakistan is wresting back of occupied Kashmir.
3. Ushering in economic reforms which pulled the country from out of the mire of nehruvian socialism and making Man Mohan Singh the FM giving us a future PM.
4. The covert boost he gave to achieve neuclear weapon capability. Pokhran-I and II are nothing compared to his contribution.
5. Making the so-called first family of Indian politics irrelavant for 5 years.
There was something in him for the congress politicians to experiment, emulate and exercise.

True. He achieved all these results without any hype and self pampering which is in itself a big achievement.
seems like someone is being portrayed positively just because he also hails from your home state..not to mention his other triumphs like the JMM case ..lol
ponder..
