New Delhi, Mar 27 (PTI) Congress today rejected the charge of BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani that Manmohan Singh was a "weak" Prime Minister and there were different centres of power in the UPA government.
"It is unwarranted and unfair. We do not expect the BJP to be charitable but when it was in power, there were various centres of power," Union Minister and party spokesman Anand Sharma told reporters here.
"When the NDA was in power, the RSS functionaries participated in important meetings and even addressed the media outside 7 Race Course Road ... Then there was the Home Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister (L K Advani) who kept rushing to Jhandewalan (RSS office)," he added.
Sharma alleged there were two power centres -- Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Advani -- in the NDA government and another was the RSS headquarters at Nagpur. He alleged the decisions then were taken by the RSS and it was unfortunate for the BJP to make allegations now.
"We do not have remote control functioning ... Not connected with the party or the government," the Congress leader said.
"In our government, there is a healthy working relationship between the Chairperson of the UPA (Sonia Gandhi) and the Prime Minister," Sharma said. PTI
