Admitting that "some compromises" have to be made in managing a coalition, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said that his government will bring the wrongdoers in scams to book, but ruled out quitting from his post.
"I think it's very premature to speculate on the next Prime Minister," Dr Manmohan Singh told NDTV's Prannoy Roy when asked if he would be ready to be the prime ministerial candidate in the next elections.
The Prime Minister said he was not aware of the methodology of the controversial first-come-first-serve (FCFS) policy, followed by former Telecom Minister A Raja, for 2G spectrum allocation.
Ahead of the Budget session, the Prime Minister said the Opposition should let the Parliament function. He said the impression that he was blocking the agreement on a JPC was "entirely wrong".
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today strongly rejected any suggestions that his office continued talks with Devas on its controversial deal with Antrix for lease of S-Band spectrum after the Space Commission decided to scrap it. He said that if there has been delay in scrapping the deal, this has been "only procedural".
