Lucknow: Former thinktank of the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS)
idealogue K.N. Govindacharya Tuesday said NDA convenor Sharad
Yadav was better than Narendra Modi for the post of prime
minister.
Though there are many aspirants, both in the UPA and National
Democratic Alliance (NDA), Janata Dal-United president Yadav would
be a good option for the top post, Govindacharya said.
He said Yadav was better as he has held senior ministerial
positions in the union government and was the "most experienced".
Govindacharya, 69, supported Yadav's recent statement in which he
had said that the issue would be settled within the NDA after the
Lok Sabha polls in 2014.
"Continuous speculations and aspirations by leaders is demeaning
the office of the prime minister," Govindacharya told reporters at
the Lucknow press club.
On being asked why did he not consider Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi as a suitable candidate for the top post, he said
the Sanjay Joshi episode had shown that Modi lacked tolerance and
was personal in political matters.
Blaming the failure of anti-graft campaigns on the lack of
leadership, Govindacharya said Arvind Kejriwal's campaign appeared
to be a JD-U campaign, while that of yoga guru Baba Ramdev had
morphed into a new face of the BJP.
Govindacharya also announced a sit-in in New Delhi Oct 1 to demand
more and direct funds to the panchayat level and strengthening
them.
