BJP leader L.K. Advani again took a dig at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, saying he took pity on him over the condition of the UPA government.
“The condition of the government is very bad. Sometimes I take pity at
Manmohan Singh though I had respect for him at one time,” Mr Advani told a meeting at Saoner, near Nagpur, in Maharashtra, as his anti-corruption yatra entered Maharashtra.
Mr Advani said Dr Singh happens to be the weakest Prime Minister he has ever seen and that even the likes of I.K. Gujral, Chandra Shekhar and H.D. Deve Gowda, who had only handful of MPs with them had performed better.
“We have had Prime Ministers like Chandra Shekhar, Deve Gowda and I.K. Gujral who may not have even 10-15 MPs but who never appeared weak as there is a lot of strength in the position of Prime Minister,” Mr Advani said. — PTI
