Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Peer review/P. V. Narasimha Rao
Hello. Narasimha Rao's contribution to India's development is probably amongst the most understated of all Indian PM's. Kindly share your views on what should be done to improve this article.--Shahab 10:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Some thoughts -
1. I think Babri Masjid needs mention in the lead article
2.The lead article fails to mention PV's life before his PM post. he held various posts incl. External Affairs Min, AP CM etc
3. Rao's later life was marked by an political isolation due to his association with many corruption charges. He remains to date the only Indian Prime Minister to have been convicted in a corruption case, although a higher court later overturned that decision. All other charges against him also turned out to be false, and before his death in 2004, Rao had the satisfaction of being acquitted in every single one of them. - POV material. please re-word
4. Rao retired in 1991 from politics and came back after Rajiv Gandhi's assasination. the same needs to be mentioned with reference
5. Rao's cabinet included Sharad Pawar, himself a strong contender for the PM's job, as defence minister. - The sentence can be removed as it is not relevant
6. i think ayodha needs more attention and make latur as a seperate para. the spill over of ayodhya into mumbai blasts is not covered adequately
7. Another political accomplishment of Rao was to keep the highly influential and ambitious Sonia Gandhi out of Congress during his reign - POV material. How did he keep her out? 'ambitious' and 'influential' makes the statement double-POV
