As prime minister Manmohan Singh addresses his only second full-fledged media briefing on Monday on the occasion of the first anniversary of the UPA II, here are some questions you and I would like to pose to him:

* There seems to be little coordination in the cabinet, with different ministers pursuing different agenda, some taking pot shots at some others. Are they disregarding the central authority or is it the case that there's no central authority?

* Within a year, a Congress minister had to quit over a controversy, but several non-Congress ministers continue despite bigger controversies. Is this the price you (and we) are paying for coalition politics?

* You called Maoists the biggest security threat. In the couple of years since that comment,the rebels have only stepped up the campaign while the UPA is simultaneously talking all mutually exclusive strategy options -- not to mention the states that have their own views. Is there a unified anti-Maoist policy in the offing?

* Our Pakistan policy has undergone a sea change in a year without any change on the other side. If there's a justification to change from no-talks to talks, why is that justification not shared with people or parliament?

* The aam aadmi, the one who returned you to power, is crushed under the rising prices of nearly everything but primarily food articles. While the prices have eased a bit of late, nobody has any hopes of household budgets returning to levels of the previous year. Is there any solace for the common man coming round the corner?

* The way various parts of the government have gone about managing or mismanaging the Commonwealth Games is a shame. The event has already showcased what's wrong with our governance instead of showcasing the best of India to the world. And yet no heads have rolled, no responsibility fixed. Why?

* Congress president Sonia Gandhi has termed the advent of RTI as the single biggest achievement of the UPA I. In a well-publicised letter to her, you have advocated some amendments to the law, though all RTI activists have unanimously told the government to back off. Will you please formally clarify the government's stance?

If you have any question in mind, why don't you put it down in the comments space below?
