Bengaluru, Mar 6: Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “lowering the dignity of PM post”, Janata Dal (Secular) supremo H D Deve Gowda has declared that he would support Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s claim for prime ministership.
However, Gowda said there were too many prime ministerial aspirants in the Mahagathbandhan — the grand alliance of anti-BJP forces — and that regional parties would have the final say on who would occupy the country’s top post.
Speaking at an interaction the former prime minister criticized Mr Modi’s penchant for cheap and unhygienic sarcasm. “Such sarcastic remarks against his political opponents lowered the dignity of the post he held,” he said.
“Why should he be making such statements? It is unbecoming of a prime minister. All of us must understand that people of this country have the capability to understand which leader is talking what and they are capable of analysing it before they cast vote,” Gowda said.
Gowda said Modi claims as if every work in the country has been executed by him and due to his administration. “A PM should not have such an ego”, he said.
JD(S) national president H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday said he would support Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s claim for prime ministership as a quid pro quo for making his son H D Kumaraswamy the chief minister.
