Manmohan Singh’s ‘Blue Magic’?

It appears, the Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a reputed economist, is obsessed with blue colour now-a-days. Ever since he became the prime-minister he sports a blue coloured turban, although that colour was never before his favourite one.

It seems he has been advised by his private advisors or the national network making ‘wonders’ happen in the country, to wear a blue coloured turban and that would protect his position as long he is seen in that colour. The media takes pains to focus on his coloured turban. However, his dress code is not in blue.

Even as the chief of Reserve Bank of India Dr. Singh was not impartial to colours, but now as Prime-minister he seems to be unkind to non-blue colours. This is unfair to a multi-coloured nation. But his advisers seem to be on the right track; in spite of the minority nature of the coalition government and of the electoral reverses for his Congress party, including in the recent UP poll, his position is pretty safe. Not only that. He has been elected unopposed to Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament from Assam. What else can make him so obsessed with the ‘blue magic’. He is sure of completing his full term as the head of the government. All politicians and bureaucrats aspiring for better positions or retaining their present ones must take cue from ‘humble’ Dr. Singh. Please not that one needs not to be an economist to ‘believe’ in blue or any particular colour.
