Apropos the editorial "'Are you serious?'" (April 22), it is an open secret that Manmohan Singh governed the nation for 10 years under the instructions of the Gandhi family. The weak leadership of the United Progressive Alliance government is responsible for the pathetic condition of the nation today. When the country was hungry for a stable and clean government and a strong leader, Rahul Gandhi failed to present himself as a worthy candidate. The Congress cannot expect Rahul to change overnight and deliver the goods. When the country is passing through a development phase, there are bound to be changes in rules and laws. The land acquisition Bill is one such law. All the parties should rise above petty politics and bat for economic growth and development.
