Congress finds fault with Advani as PM
Pioneer News Service | New Delhi
The Congress lashed out at the NDA prime ministerial candidate and senior BJP leader LK Advani calling him a "split personality" who lacks the "national identity" to carry all sections of the country with him.
As the NDA chose Advani as its leader, Congress spokesman M Veerappa Moily said: "This ( projecting Advani as PM) will be an abortive effort. He (Advani) lacks prime ministerial material. He isn't a person who is cohesive enough to take all forces together..."
Comparing Advani with former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who has been declared the chairman of the NDA, Moily said: "Advani should realise that the NDA which is accepting him as its leader is not the same NDA that had declared AB Vajpayee as its Prime Minister. This is a divided NDA."
<b>
On Advani's declaration that the NDA would inflict a crushing defeat in the next election, Moily said: "He can't achieve this in his lifetime. He will be frustrated soon... He can't find a national identity to carry all sections together. He cannot become the leader of a society which comprises so many religions. He is not a leader of united India."</b>
The Congress spokesman termed Advani a "split personality" and said that his actions showed he is "feeling guilty".
Moily said: "His statements show that his conscience is always pricking him that he has done something wrong. He has no regret for a matter like Godhra. Till date he has no regret. At least Vajpayee has expressed regret over the incident. The problem is that after so much has happened Advani has shown no signs of mid-course correction."
