Remaining silent on some issues is definitely his mazboori, except the fare and the train debacle, every thing had been v.good. He is not a supreme leader like ex-PM, there is a constitutional boss called PM over him. More over he has his limitations that he was not a MP and given the charge of IR based on his past performance as a minister in previous govt.
Ex PM is an extreme case who was rubber stamp on almost all issues. Comparing RM with ex.PM just on a couple of issues, ignoring the plethora of good jobs done by him is not fair. No human in this world is perfect, even the Gods are said to commit errors on rare occasions!!...

What I like most about the RM is his intentions are right i.e. to improve IR, he is honest (very rare quality today), and steps taken so far had been by and large very good except the fare debacle which is a consequence of populist and bad (for IR) policies of ex-RMs.
At least RM is trying his best to improve the IR, how much he can succeed in bringing much needed change in the work culture of IR, only time will tell.
There is no shortcut to improve IR which had been politically and bureaucratically mauled for several decades. RM can only initiate steps for improvement and pursue them vigorously. Even then the work culture at all levels of IR does not improve in long run, not much can be achieved even with these good steps.
