I am a great fan of Raghuram Rajan, and used to be one of Manmohan Singh as well. But Manmohan Singh's reign as PM can only be counted as an unmitigated disaster, his economic credentials notwithstanding. The huge NPA crisis that you see now happened under his watch. The Air India deal, the 2G scam etc etc. It is conveniently forgotten for example, that under Manmohan Singh in 2010 the congress government declared that more bank licenses will be given out, flatly contradicting the RBI whose job it is to issue these licenses. By the standards we are holding this government to, almost any government prior to this would be called a dictatorship.
