Days after his public criticism of the government over ordinance on convicted lawmakers, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday sought to mollify Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying he is ‘my guru’ and ‘a man with good intent’.
Addressing a public meeting in Punjab, he also hit out at the BJP for questioning the timing of his statement on the ordinance saying this cannot be an issue for speaking the truth. ‘When I met Manmohan Singh ji after the ordinance, I told him that I have learnt a lot from you. I have two gurus in my life, Congress President and Manmohan Singh. You have given me one guru. What Manmohan Singh has done for India and Punjab has given to the nation, no one has given,’ he said.
