Quotable Quotes: What they said about Dr. Manmohan Singh’s speech on harsh economic measures
"The Singh's speech"
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had his Churchillian moment yesterday, when he addressed the nation on Doordarshan at 8 pm yesterday, and explained to his people exactly why harsh economic measures, such as FDI in retail, were needed at this point of time. Those of us who weren’t catching a Friday night movie at the local theatre, getting drunk at a mall, or catching various assorted soaps on television had this to say about Dr. Manmohan Singh’s inspirational speech.
Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Home Minister
“People of this country have a short memory. Just like they forgot Bofors, Coalgate and 2G, they will forget the PM’s speech as well.”
Gursharan Kaur, Dr. Singh’s better half
“Mannu just broke his own record of speaking non-stop for 12 minutes and 7 seconds. Oh my God! I am so happy for him!”
Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal’s CM
“I kept waiting for him to speak about my withdrawal of support, but it never came. This is nothing but a Maoist speech.”
Sonia Gandhi, Congress President and UPA chairperson
“Thanks to him, I come across as oozing charisma from every pore of my body. Hehe”
Sumathi, Mother of three in Chennai
“My 3-year old son, Kannan, was giving me a tough time last night, but Dr. Singh’s speech put him to sleep within minutes. I am proud of our Prime Minister!”
Raghu, Anchor of MTV’s Roadies
“The speech just gave me a new idea. The next task for the participants will be to keep their eyes open without blinking for a longer duration than Dr. Manmohan Singh.”
Ranbir Kapoor, Actor
“Dr. Singh’s performance last night was better than mine in Barfi. We have such a talented Prime Minister.”
Pankaj Pachauri, Media Advisor to the PM
“If only people knew the kind of effort that went into convincing Dr. Singh to give that speech. My performance is as credit worthy as Geoffery Rush’s in the Oscar winning movie King’s Speech.”
Rohit Khanna, Marketing executive, Mumbai
“Oops. Totally missed the speech, as I was out drinking with friends. No worries. Will catch up on his speech by staring at Dr. Manmohan Singh’s pic for 15 minutes.”

Hello unrealtimes. I see your reporter hasn’t reported my quotable quote. So I’m making sure its here in the comments:
” The atmosphere where the speech was delivered was electric and the noise was deafening. When Dr. MMS flashes … he flashes hard. The words were coming out of his mouth like a tracer bullet. This is just what the doctor ordered. It all went down to the wire. We’ve had a fabulous 15 minutes of speech, over 500 words were uttered as a truly competitive guy went hard at the aam admi, without giving as much as an inch, and it can only be said that in the end, FDI and diesel are the real winners!”
Oh!! I see I have said quite a lot. BTW, unreal guys …. do you like Indian curry? “
