The contrasting Prime Ministers
One was a former Prime Minister, the other now holds that high position. They could not be more different. Manmohan Singh's recent statement where he said he was 'deeply pained and anguished by the falsehoods and canards being spread to score political points in a lost cause by none less than Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi.' comes out as a restrained but deeply felt comment on Modi's practice. Quite rightly he depreciates Modi's 'desire to tarnish every constitutional office, including that of Former Prime Minister and Army Chief.' His statesmanlike remonstrance makes a remarkable contrast with the lowly utterances by those who are attacking him.
Why does Modi have to continue acting the upstart after having attained the highest position in government? Having achieved what he set out to do he must now rise up to the position that he has attained. From chief rabblerouser he must transform to being a leader of men, not by mocking institutions of learning with his hard work and Harvard remarks and not by scoring brownie points using lies and innuendo.
That may be a comedian's view of politics. However, the present scenario in India has led to politics appearing as comedy or farce.
Men of limited vision tend to mock peers who can see more clearly into the future and work towards their ideals ceaselessly. Such Pygmies assume the role of Titans resulting in a greater fall than if they were merely confined to their pygmy stature.

looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and
applying the wrong remedies. - Groucho Marx
