- NDTV Correspondent
Friday, June 16, 2006 (New Delhi):
A day after being elected to the Rajya Sabha, industrialist Rahul Bajaj has hit out at the government for its "slow economic reforms programme".
Speaking to NDTV, Bajaj said the government is bowing to Left pressure a bit too much.
He said if the government can't push ahead the reforms agenda, it should perhaps think of holding mid-term polls.
"If I were the PM or the Congress President, I would be constantly wondering when to hold the Parliamentary elections. If I don't do so, then I am not doing my job right," he said.
Bajaj's candidature for the Rajya Sabha had created a rift between the Congress and the NCP.
