a man called Arjun Singh

Since my childhood days, I kept on hearing the name of Arjun Singh thru media. Mostly for some wrong reasons. Earlier it was related to the surrender of dacoits from chambal then churhat lottery scandal then second most powerful person of Congress(I) after Rajeev Gandhi then something called Congress (T) for some small period of time and now for reservations in IIT/IIM. If you closely study his career you will find he was/is an ambitious person who always tried to be at top and hence so in news. Fortunately (for nation) or unfortunately (for him) he could never get the position he thought he deserves and thus at this stage of his life all of his "creative" skills have started converting in destructive skills. This is result of sheer frustration of being an unsuccessfull politician. After Rajeev's assasination, Narsimha Rao took the oppertunity and became PM and poor Arjun Singh missed the chance. Then he started creating problem for Pamulaparthi Venkat Narsimha Rao. In 2004, after Sonia denied taking the post of PM, he again had a golden oppertunity to take over as PM but no one proposed his name and Mr Manmohan Singh became PM. He is in ministry of Human Resources since then and keeps on coming in news sometime when camera catches him sleeping in some important meeting or in some function or for his change in syllabus initiatives or for waking up the reservation monster again and again. News reports has been always circulating in media that he is trying his best to create problems for Mr. Manmohan Singh and the government.

I always believed that PM should assign him some serious work so that he will be busy. Looks like he has ample amount of time because there is a saying in hindi "Khali Dimag Shaitan ka Ghar".
