With our PM, system approximates communist one: LK Advani

In yet another attack on Manmohan Singh, BJP leader LK Advani said today that after he became the Prime Minister, the system in India "approximates the communist system" in which the party chief was "more important".Advani recalled the visit of Russian leaders Nikita Khruschev and Nikolai Bulganin to Rajasthan in 1955 and about the talk that "priority was to be given to Khruschev and not to Bulganin."Khrushchev was then the Soviet Communist Party First Secretary while Bulganin was the Prime Minister."Ever since Manmohan Singh became the Prime Minister, the system in India approximates the communist system. There, the party chief was more important (than the head of the government)," he told reporters here."That is why I say that 10 Janpath (Sonia Gandhi's residence) has become more important than RCR (7, Race Course Road, the PM's official residence)," Advani said.Advani wanted to know why is the Congress President "totally silent on the issue of black money, on the issue of corruption, on the issue of inflation.""It is either the Congress spokespersons who are speaking or the Prime Minister who is speaking, that too occasionally, but not the Congress President," Advani said.
