Cong wants ‘jugaad’ Govt and ‘contract prime minister’: Naqvi

NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi Tuesday claimed the Congress wants a “contract prime minister” under a jugaad Government headed by it, while the people of the country want a Government with a clear mandate led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a rally — Vijay Sankalp Sabha — in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha as part of the launch of BJP’s Lok Sabha poll campaign, the Minority Affairs Minister also said Congress knows it cannot win and so it wants a PM who can be remote-controlled.

The people of the country don’t want a prime minister on “rotation and contract” for six months and then another PM for the next six months, Naqvi was quoted as saying by a statement from his office.

The Congress wants a “contract prime minister”, but the country needs a “perfect prime minister”, he said.

The entire nation knows Modi is a “perfect prime minister”. He stands for progress, prosperity and safety of the country, Naqvi claimed.

The country witnessed that the Congress during its 10 years in power “undermined the dignity” of the prime minister’s post, he alleged. (AGENCIES)
