TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ As prime minister, Manmohan Singh was “thousand times” better than Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who was a key leader of the massive anti-graft movement against the UPA government in 2011, said on Friday.
Calling him a “good man”, Kejriwal said it was Singh who shielded India from the global economic recession in 2008 by taking a series of timely measures. ” “Manmohan Singh is a good man. He was thousand times better than Modi. He is an educated man, an economist of repute. He understands the economy,” he told.
“In
fact in late 2008, when there was global economic depression, India was perhaps
the only country which was not impacted by it as Singh took a series of
measures and saved the country,” Kejriwal added. Kejriwal along with with
Anna Hazare had led a massive anti-graft agitation against UPA II between 2011
and 2013 when Manmohan Singh was the prime minister.
