Finance Minister Arun Jaitley
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley responds to Congress's allegations on Cabinet expansion.
Here are the highlights:- The PM has the last word in the government.
- It may be natural that politicians have cases against them which are political in nature but there should be no moral turpitude
- In UP, the Akhilesh Yadav government has filed cases against all BJP workers - and case against Dr Katheria is political in nature
- The entire charge of the Congress party is baseless -- in the UPA, the PM didn't have the last word in formation or expansion of the cabinet
- In the NDA the trend is completely different, PM has the last word and he takes a decision taking into consideration all facts
- It seems Congress is not left with political issues
- Who should be taken into Cabinet is prerogative of the prime minister
- Please don't read too much into it. People from all political groups in Kashmir come to the Centre -- has the chief minister not come to meet the PM, or haven't PDP leaders met him? In politics, you have to meet political opponents too
- On Shiv Sena: Some problems will find their own solutions
- There is no case against Giriraj Singh. These unfounded allegations were not expected from a responsible opposition.
- UPA ran a non performing government.
- Congress should confine itself to quality of poor governance that it gave and restrict itself to that
- Minimum government, maximum governance
