Pune, Apr 24: Unfazed by Congress' flaying his statements on its president Sonia Gandhi, BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan said: "The debate over a person aspiring for prime ministership, cannot be called criticism." Addressing a public meeting to canvass support for the BJP candidate from the prestigious Pune Lok Sabha seat, the senior leader said, he would keep talking about the Congress president.
Criticising NCP president Sharad Pawar's statement that Maharashtra will decide the prime minister of the country, Mahajan said, "Prime Minister has already been decided and it is Atal Bihari Vajpayee".
Urging people to vote for BJP, he said "the party's candidate Pradeep Rawat was one of the wheels of the vehicle driven by Vajpayee and the wheels should not be changed while in motion."
