Sam Pitroda, who advices the Prime Minister on innovation, on Wednesday March 19, 2014 admitted that UPA Government “messed up” and took some wrong decisions, including on Vodafone. It is amazing to see an insider and the confidante of the Manmohan Singh government and Congress Party talking in such terms.
Speaking at a meet organized by Congress in Mumbai, Pitroda pointed out that the needed administrative, labour, political and legal reforms – couldn’t be implemented because of a “lack of political will”. Hell with such a man who exploited the perks of office all these years and trying to pass on the blame to the head of the government at the end of his tenure! Who prevented him from advising the PM on this or leaving the job earlier on his failure of carrying conviction with the powers that be?
Pitroda also lamented and referred to how the bureaucrats get shuffled at frequent intervals, before they can get a chance to settle in and be held accountable. A great discovery from a system’s man! This gentleman had no courtesy of acknowledging the letters suggesting innovation in administration from senior and sincere citizens of this country despite personal reminders. Better we recover the perks enjoyed by him in office after an enquiry into his omissions and commissions.
