On Board Air India One: Rejecting suggestions of dissent in the cabinet over the 2G spectrum allocation row, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday accused the opposition of getting “prematurely restless” to “force” early elections.
Lashing out the opposition for “destabilising polity,” Manmohan Singh asserted that his government will “stay the course” and complete its full five-year term.
Addressing a press conference aboard his special aircraft while returning from his visit to New York via Frankurt, Manmohan Singh said there was no division in his cabinet in the context of the recent finance ministry note which suggested that P. Chidambaram, as the then finance minister, had not done enough to ensure the auction of 2G spectrum.
However, the prime minister admitted that that there could be a problem of perception about his government and indicated his government’s willingness to correct it.
“…I suspect there are other forces which want to destabilise our polity,” he said when asked about the growing impression that the UPA-II government had lost the goodwill and momentum it had in its first incarnation.
