You are right. He was not a strong contender for the post of Prime MInister. He was picked by Sonia as the situation was not favourable for her to take the reins of the country. Once she finds the situation conducive for her of her son Rahul, our PM Manmohan will have to go.

Dr. Manmohan Singh  \n   Prime Minister of India\nPersonal Profile\n India’s fourteenth Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh is rightly acclaimed as a thinker and a scholar.  He is well regarded for his diligence and his academic approach to work, as well as his accessibility and his unassuming demeanour.   \n\nPrime Minister Manmohan Singh was born on September 26, 1932, in a village in the Punjab   province   of   undivided  India.  Dr. Singh completed his Matriculation examinations from the Panjab University in 1948.  His academic career took him from Punjab to the University of Cambridge, UK, where he earned a First Class Honours degree in Economics in 1957.  Dr. Singh followed this with a D.Phil in Economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962.   His book, “India's Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth” [Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1964] was an early critique of India's inward-oriented trade policy.\n \n\nDr. Singh’s academic credentials were burnished by the years he spent on the faculty of Punjab University and the prestigious Delhi School of Economics.  He had a brief stint at the UNCTAD Secretariat as well, during these years.  This presaged a subsequent appointment as Secretary General of the South Commission in Geneva between 1987 and 1990. \n\n In 1971, Dr. Singh joined the Government of India as Economic Advisor in the Commerce Ministry.  This was soon followed by his appointment as Chief Economic Advisor in the Ministry of Finance in 1972.  Among the many Governmental positions that Dr. Singh has occupied are Secretary in the Ministry of Finance; Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission; Governor of the Reserve Bank of India; Advisor of the Prime Minister; and Chairman of the University Grants Commission. \n\nIn what was to become the turning point in the economic history of independent India, Dr. Singh spent five years between 1991 and 1996 as India’s Finance Minister. His role in ushering in a comprehensive policy of economic reforms is now recognized worldwide.  In the popular view of those years in India, that period is inextricably associated with the persona of Dr. Singh. \n\nAmong the many awards and honours conferred upon Dr. Singh in his public career, the most prominent are India’s second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan (1987); the Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Award of the Indian Science Congress (1995); the Asia Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year (1993 and 1994); the Euro Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year (1993), the Adam Smith Prize of the University of Cambridge (1956); and the Wright's Prize for Distinguished Performance at St. John's College in Cambridge (1955).  Dr. Singh has also been honoured by a number of other associations including by the Japanese Nihon Keizai Shimbun. \n\nDr. Singh has represented India at many international conferences and in several international organizations.  He has led Indian Delegations to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Cyprus (1993) and to the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993. \n\nIn his political career, Dr. Singh has been a Member of India’s Upper House of Parliament (the Rajya Sabha) since 1991, where he was Leader of the Opposition between 1998 and 2004. \n\nDr. Singh and his wife Mrs. Gursharan Kaur have three daughters
