JOIN USAfter Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declined to retire post 2014 polls, the BJP said that he “has shown his true colours” and questioned Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s claim to the top post.
Insisting that the people will not give this “scam-tainted, corrupt government” another chance, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said: “Obviously, Manmohan Singh, the reluctant politician, has shown his true colours a few days after Holi and has indicated that he is audaciously ambitious.”
On-board the special aircraft on Thursday after attending the BRICS summit in Durban, Singh apparently did not rule out another term if given a chance.
Prasad said: “Whether Manmohan Singh’s comment is aimed at his foes within the Congress, or is it to put a question mark on Rahul Gandhi’s claim for the post of Prime Minister, for which a consistent chorus is going on within the party, is entirely an internal matter.
However, the lack lustre non-performing leadership of Manmohan Singh, involved in so many scams, some of which lead directly to his doorstep, is not what the people of the country want.”
