PTI[ THURSDAY, MAY 20, 2004 05:33:52 PM ]
NEW DELHI: Nationalist Trinamool Congress leader P A Sangma, who
parted with Congress and NCP on the issue of Sonia Gandhi's foreign
origin, on Thursday said he stood vindicated by her decision to opt
out of prime ministership and demanded amendment to the Constitution
to prevent a person of foreign origin from occupying the top post.
While describing Manmohan Singh as an "excellent choice" for the high
office, Sangma told reporters that <b>the manner in which he was made
the Prime Minister was "not in good taste". </b>
The former Lok Sabha Speaker blamed "BJP's overconfidence" for NDA's
debacle in the general elections.
