Modi is only hope: Yeddyurappa
4 Jan 2014 12:53 AM GMT
Former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa, who announced his party KJP’s decision to merge with BJP, on Friday flayed prime minister Manmohan Singh’s comment that Narendra Modi as PM would be ‘disastrous’ for the country and said the Gujarat chief minister was the ‘only hope’.
‘The only hope in the country is Narendra Modi because people are disappointed with the Congress’ rule in the country. That is why they are expecting good governance from him. There is no alternative to him,’ he told reporters.
Singh, in a rare press conference in New Delhi on Friday, had said that ‘without discussing the merits of Modi, I sincerely believe that it will be disastrous for the country to have him as prime minister.’
Announcing the merger, Yeddyurappa had said on Thursday that he was back to BJP to support Modi for prime ministership.
Meanwhile, in Raipur Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh said that the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate was dangerous for Congress, not for the country.
‘He (Modi) is dangerous for Congress, not for the country,’ Raman Singh said, reacting to Manmohan Singh’s statement earlier in the day that Modi as the prime minister would be a disaster for the country.
