Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh on Thursday alleged that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had no clue about the decisions taken by his ministerial colleagues despite having pleaded with them to keep the prime minister's office informed.
"He is the weakest prime minister the country has ever produced. His office has written nine letters to his ministerial colleagues in 14 months and has pleaded with them to keep the office of the prime minister in the loop about the decisions they have taken.
"Most of these decisions have been approved by UPA chairman Sonia Gandhi. I am reading out a letter written by T K A Nayyar, principal secretary in the PMO that the PMO should be told about such decisions at least three days in advance," he said.
Rajnath ridiculed the prime minister for taking a dig at Advani in order to hide his weakness.
"He is trying to shield himself by attacking Advaniji," he said.
He questioned the prime minister's claim that the country has registered a growth rate of 7 per cent in last eight months and attacked him for not giving remunerative prices to the farmers.
"I am told that the country is going to import half a million tonne of wheat to meet the shortage of food grains. It is a matter of shame for us.
"This situation has come about because we did not purchase adequate quantity of wheat and rice from the farmers," he lamented.
According to him, Dr Singh during his annual press conference, had admitted that Sonia Gandhi was the super prime minister and it was she who was running the show.
He also held Dr Singh accountable for decision on dissolution of the Bihar state assembly.
"He has admitted that it was the decision of his government to impose President's rule in Bihar and dissolve the state assembly. By saying that it was a majority judgment, he cannot escape responsibility.
"Majority judgments are binding. I do not think even Indira Gandhi had ever referred to the Supreme Court judgment in the manner in which Dr Singh did it on Wednesday," he pointed out.
