The outfit, known for its allergy to multinationals, also criticised the Balco divestment deal saying it was 'undervalued'.
"The government is facing a crisis created by people like N K Singh (Officer on Special Duty in the PMO) and Montek Singh Ahluwalia (member, Planning Commission) who do not have any mandate or accountability to the people," the SJM's all India organiser Muralidhar Rao told PTI.
"When key policy-making positions are given to such people who are insensitive to national interest, such problems are bound to happen," he said.
While Atal Bihari Vajpayee was not involved in any corrupt practices, he has given governance to 'bureaucratic leadership', Rao said.
"This Government lacks a political direction. It is not led by a political leadership but by a bureaucratic leadership and we have always opposed that," he said.
"It is not possible for people to believe in the sincerity and credibility of a government which has such people at the helm of affairs," the SJM leader said.
RSS chief K S Sudershan had last Sunday blamed 'incompetent' officials in the PMO for the crisis faced by the government, which drew an instant rebuttal from South Block.
