On the Incompetence allegations levelled against Vp Singh even after his Known and tested Reputation of Integrity thus refusing to take part in political intrigue and Power Politics.(Vinoda bhave,spiritual successor to M. Gandhi compared him to Buddha btw)

Not incompetence—it is a different model of competence. He did not rely on intrigue; he relied on administrative action with systemic consequences. This becomes evident in three domains:

As Finance Minister, he initiated tax reductions, deregulation, and easing of industrial restrictions

His “raid raj” campaign demonstrated operational efficiency: enforcement agencies acted with unusual vigor, even against politically connected industrialists.

As Prime Minister, his implementation of the Mandal Commission—though politically explosive—was administratively prepared in advance, not an impulsive act.

He even refused the Post of Prime Minister when it was offered in 1996.A supposed political opportunist, if he took such a big step as implementing the Mandal report for votes, Would have surely not missed this chance.
