		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the election results, Manmohan Singh will no longer be remembered merely as the Finance Minister who ushered in economic reforms. He’s finally found a place in history to be only the third Prime Minister to return to office for successive terms.
So, what should the technocrat-turned-politician do in his second term to ensure that [...]]]></description>
