Mangalore: Sonia Gandhi does not intervene in PMO's functioning - Oscar

Mangalore, Apr 14: Reacting to the recent controversy over Sanjay Baru’s book 'The Accidental Prime Minister' that branded Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as a 'rubber stamp', union minister for transport, road and highways and labor and employment Oscar Fernandes said the PM was chosen to the post by AICC president Sonia Gandhi and both of them worked hand in hand for the progress of the nation.

Addressing a press meet at the Congress election office here on Monday April 14, he claimed that the book has the author’s personal viewpoint on the functioning of the Prime Minister. "However, this was a prejudiced opinion as the PM has only sought the advice of AICC president Sonia Gandhi to run the administration. This is a democratic nation and government is run by the federal structure laid down by the constitution. There is no question of intervention of Sonia Gandhi in the functioning of the PMO when the union cabinet head was selected by her," he said.

He lauded the ten-year regime of the Congress-led UPA and said it was able to translate dreams into reality.
When media persons asked further questions on Baru's book, he declined from commenting and said the PMO has already clarified its stand on the controversy raked by the book.

On BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s marital status, he said Modi should explain the reasons that deterred him from revealing the truth for so long. "Modi has listened to the frequent advice given by Lok Sabha candidate of Dakshina Kannada Janardhan Poojary to file an affidavit disclosing his marital with the returning officer of Varanasi," he said.

He added that India being a democratic country, the people will ultimately decide who they want as their PM.

Replying to charges that Congress was biased in its stand on allegations of corruption against Robert Vadra, he defended the party saying the judiciary was the ultimate authority to decide on the matter. "He (Vadra) would be punished if found guilty," he said.

He rubbished reports of MLAs Vinay Kumar Sorake and Pramod Madhwaraj intentionally refraining from actively taking part in the campaign. He said he would advise the party in Udupi-Chikamagalur constituency to strengthen the campaign.
 
Former chief minister of Goa Luizinho Faleiro who was in the press meet said one should not believe in the so-called Gujarat model of development as the state has been doing poorly in several indicators. "Decline in the rate of employment, malnutrition, and farmers being deprived of electricity are the key problems that are burdening Gujarat," he said.

"The country cannot have a structure of development based on the development achieved in just one state. Gujarat stinks with the memories of 2002 riots in contrast to Modi’s claims of development," he added.

    Wonderful!!!!
    That coming from you means a lot Mr. Oscar. You deserve an Oscar for this monologue.
    But your comments says it loud and clear that Congress has picked its scapegoat.
    I see a repeat of the treatment meted to PVN Rao here.
    A Cambridge alumni has been clearly rendered useless by Congress. What a feat to achieve?
    If Sonia mam (I mean respectfully here) was not intervening, that makes MMS a well educated economist graduating as worst PM of independent India, and Sonia Mam of Congress as the least concerned person about India and its health. Now Mr. Oscar, will you please care to tell us, why on earth well meaning Indians must vote for your party while all you promise is same non-intervention from Sonia mam?
    Disclaimer: I don't believe a word when it comes from Mr. Oscar.

    See the timing of this book of Sanjay Baru. Of course it is ghost written by someone else from BJP and published in the name of Baroo. He got lakhs of rupees royalty for this book, besides, if BJP comes to Power Baroo will get a license to open "Bars" BARU's BAR.

    People are questioning the marital status of Modi and many other leaders of BJP & Cong. But no one will ever dare to question the marital status of Oscar as his marriage certificate is always walking with him and always sitting beside him in from row only without any permission from the organizers.

    All these congress leaders from D. K., Karnataka are good for nothing leaders. They think it is their birth right to be the leaders. Enough number of times people have rejected them in elections. I do not know why the Congress high command is not showing them the door. Just making photo appearance with wife, putting garlands and wearing white shirts does not mean any Performance or Achievement. Only God can save people of Daksina Kannada

    I totally agree. These so called our Coastal best Politicians have not not done anything to the twin districts. They Garland themselves talk good about the party and do nothing. Oscar could have done lot since he was the Surface Minister, but see the pathetic condition of our National Highway leaving the State Highway beside. People in Udupi district vote for Congress not for the party, but for Mr. Jayaprakash Hegde. He is the simple person easy to reach and i agree he didnt get much time. I hope he wins this time and takes initiation in the overall Development of Udupi Disctrict.

    What a justification by Oscar!!

    All congress leaders are puppets in front of Sonia. Every one tries not to lose an opportunity to please her and who succeeds, gains her confidence. One among them is Oscar.
    Do any congress leaders from south canara or udupi ever questioned " What role Mrs fernandes has in official party functions? Why is she on stage? "

    No one wants to displease Sonia's close chelas!
