Dismissing talk that he is a 'lameduck' Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh today said he has been entrusted with the job by the Congress party from which he has not heard 'any contrary view'.
Terming the perception that his government had gone 'comatose' and was 'lameduck' as clever propaganda of the Opposition 'to which some sections of the media had lent ear", Singh asserted that 'truth will prevail' and his performance will speak.
Singh spoke of 'maximum possible cooperation' that he was getting from Congress President Sonia Gandhi whom he met one-on-one every week. He had never felt that she was an 'obstacle'.
During a 100-minute interaction with five editors at his official residence, a relaxed Prime Minister confidently fielded questions on a wide range of issues including the talk that Rahul Gandhi should take his place, the Lokpal Bill, corruption and relations with neighbouring countries.
Sonia Gandhi had done a "superb job" as Congress President for nearly 15 years now, he underlined.
Asked about occasional statements from party functionaries that Rahul Gandhi should become Prime Minister, Singh said that the Congress Party and its President had entrusted him with this job and he had not heard any contrary view from the Congress high command.
"In fact, the Congress high command has always been most supportive, particularly Mrs Gandhi," the Prime Minister said.
I, personally, consider that in his first time ever interaction with the Editors, he has just been defending himself, UPA Actions, the Gandhis and just repeated what he has already told, on earlier occasions; not much of new value!
