A Prime Minister has formidable powers,including detailed knowledge of
the flaws of those who would oppose him.Manmohan Singh refused to use
such powers,preferring to be ruled by the diktat from Sonia Gandhi.
His hesitancy almost certainly stems from
the lack of any deep convictions,except of course for holding on to
his job in as painless a manner as possible i.e. by pandering to
Sonia's wishes
The Prime Ministership is as big or as small as the person occupying that chair
