<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Varun is Well-Versed with Issues, Rahul is Kid: Arun Shourie</b>
April 4, 2009
Senior BJP leader and former union minister Arun Shourie today said that
Varun Gandhi, currently lodged in Etah jail and facing serious charges
for his alleged hate speech against Muslims, understood "issues" better
than his elder cousin and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
"Varun is well-versed with issues related to people. Rahul (Gandhi) is
an 'innocent kid'," Shourie said.
"Rahul is like " an innocent kid" and he should not be thrust upon with
the responsibility to run the nation with a population of more than 100
crore," he told reporters here.
He said that Rahul was a good person but his study and stance on issues
like Indo-US nuclear deal, China and ISI was not known.
Political leaders should be gauged from their understandings of the
issues, the senior BJP leader said.
When asked that the BJP has gone back to the temple issue in the run up
to the Lok Sabha elections, he said that two blunders had been overcome
in last 60 years - firstly, new economic policy has prevailed over
socialism, and the pseudo-secularism has been unmasked.
He said that the credit of replacing the blunder of socialism with new
economic policy goes to former Prime Minister Narasimha Rao, while that
of the second one goes to BJP leader who took out a 'Rath Yatra' on the
temple issue.
The leader out rightly denied that the BJP had adopted double standards
over the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhaya.
BJP's stand was clear on the temple issue, it wants that the two
communities should solve it by a dialogue, or by a court order or by a
law passed in Parliament, he said.
On global economic downturn, Shourie said UPA government has failed on
economic front, adding that the NDA has a better strategy to overcome
global economic slow down and inflation.
