The best choice, says Chidambaram
NEW DELHI,
MAY 19.
Terming the election of Manmohan Singh as the Congress Parliamentary Party leader as the best choice after the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, refused to don the mantle of Prime Minister, the former Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, said it would send a ``clear signal'' on economic reforms.
``After Sonia Gandhi declined to accept the post, this is the best development for the Congress, the country and for carrying on Congress' programmes,'' Mr. Chidambaram said.
He was confident that this Government would be ``clean, transparent, efficient, progressive and committed to the welfare of the people.''
Meanwhile, the West Bengal Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, today conveyed his best wishes to Dr. Singh.
Asked to comment on the basic differences on economic issues, the Marxist Chief Minister said: ``Hopefully everything will be all right''.
