Seeing the above, it is obvious that while Arvind was much better qualified that Modi, Dr. Manmohan Singh was much better qualified that Arvind. 
And yet Dr. Manmohan Singh failed. 
Why?
I suppose the Dr. was a completely YES man.
There are two types of men in the world, the extrovert and the introvert.
A leader and the one to be lead.
The places are not interchangeable.
As long a Dr. had people above him he did an excellent job but when he was given the top job in the nation he failed.He failed because the Congress President who could not herself take the top job for technical reasons chose him to be her proxy to do as per her bidding but without any power. 
The limitations of coalition politics did not allow him freedom to do what he wanted. 
At every step he had to compromise between what he thought correct and what the Congress President thought correct. The decisions of the Congress President prevailed. 
However, the Dr. failed because he could not say NO. 
When he was chosen to lead the Congress party and he could not work as per his plans for the pulls from the DMK (Karunanidhi) on one side and TMC (Mamta) on another side and Mulayam Singh on a third side and the NCP (Sharad Pawar) on the 4th side, he should have resigned as Arvind did in 49 days and Atal Behari Vajpayee in just 13 days. 
Unfortunately, he could not say NO and see the mess he has landed the Congress in - completely wiped out.
I sometimes wonder what would have been the reign of Dr. if he had the steam-rolling  majority of Modi has.
On the other hand, compare him to Arvind. 
Arvind could have staggered along with 27 MLAs with the Congress and BJP  pulling his legs throughout his reign. He could have easily cobbled up a majority by causing defections in the Congress for they were more than willing to cross over. 
But that would have been against what Arvind stood for. 
He chose to resign and seek the people's mandate after showing them a trailer of what he could do.
This was the argument I gave to the people whom I called in Delhi during the "Caller Campaign" and who called Arvind a "Bhagora" and they were left speechless.
Although the BJP, the Congress and the Paid Media called him a Bhagora for resigning after 49 days but in their heart of hearts, they were aware that the people loved Arvind's 49 days rule and would wipe them out if elections were held. 
They postponed it as much as it was possible hoping that some of the AAP 
Unfortunately for them, the Supreme Court had other views and advised elections.
In hind sight it is obvious that Pranab Mukherjee would have made a better Prime Minister than Dr. Manmohan Singh and we have seen in the last 10 years it was he who was the fire-fighter who had to solve all the crisis in the Congress Party but then the Congress President could not have got a YES man, a dummy to do as per her bidding.
The rest is history.
