I can run the government, thank you: PM
May 07, 2004 20:15 IST
Apparently stung by Congress' claim that he had become tired and forgetful rendering him unfit to lead a government, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Friday said, "I have shown how to run a government and I will show it again." Vajpayee's comments came after he mentioned the name of sitting Lok Sabha MP of Khurja Ashok Pradhan as Ashok Tandon. | Also Read | | |

"Now the newspapers will make an issue of this," Vajpayee said jocularly adding he had done it (mentioning the wrong surname) deliberately."I don't forget. But sometimes it takes me a little time. I am clarifying beforehand so that there is no slip up," he said at a rally in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. "People say I am forgetful and I am not capable. I am not incapable. I have shown how to run a government and I will show it again. Nowadays, everyone tends to twist statements. But I think the voter will understand and I am confident that people will give us their mandate," he said.
