NEW DELHI: Unshackled as he is from that burden of “precedent”, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has sought to break fresh ground in inviting young parliamentarians from his party for a tete-a-tete.
This was no mere bid to boost the ego of the novices but to gain from them vital feedback. Not just the way the younger generation thinks the way the government should be functioning, but eliciting hopefully – like Dr Manmohan’s own – opinions that would not be shackled by the politics of the past. Inner-party politics in particular which, unfortunately, tends to cloud the thinking of their seniors.
