Ahmedabad : Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday rejected the possibility of early general elections and said the process to operationalise the India-US nuclear deal was on.
Queried about Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Prakash Karat’s veiled threats about early polls, Manmohan Singh said he did not see any such possibility.
Karat had made the remarks in connection with the nuclear deal, which his party vehemently opposes.
Asked about the deal, Manmohan Singh told reporters: “The process is on. We will cross the bridge when we come to it.”
The prime minister was here to campaign for the Congress ahead of the second phase of the assembly elections in Gujarat Sunday.
Asked if his party would take action against the culprits of the 2002 communal violence if it took power in the state, he said: “We don’t believe in the politics of victimisation. If there are any grievances, one can have a re-look on the basis of evidence.”
