'The Prime Minister put himself out there and answered all questions because as an honest man he has nothing to hide.’ That’s a quote from Manish Tewari, Congress spokesman, after Manmohan Singh’s press conference in February this year. As a statement of fact, few would quibble with it, for everyone knows that the PM is a spotlessly clean man. But everything else is wrong with the indefatigable Tewari’s sentence. But let’s not shoot the messenger; he is only repeating what the big man himself said.
