Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has become a laughing stock for the country and comments on the active social media world are proof of it, a BJP leader said here Friday.

"This prime minister has become an object of ridicule," Goa BJP general secretary J.P. Nadda told reporters here after announcing the agenda for the national executive committee scheduled in June.

He added that no prime minister since independence had been mocked to the extent Manmohan Singh had been.

"Just look at the various things in social media which are being said about the prime minister," Nadda said, calling Manmohan Singh the weakest prime minister ever.

Nadda also said that the office of the prime minister was slowly getting embroiled in corruption and he should put in his papers.
