BJP leaders more talented, better performing than Congress': Sahasrabuddhe

31 Dec 2015 Evaluate

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vice-president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe clarified his 'smaller talent pool' statement, saying that all the party leaders are more talented than the Congress Party and he had spoken about BJP's limited exposure and not talent compared to the grand old party. He said that "Yesterday, in an interview with an international news agency, I had put forward a particular subject which had nothing to do with the talent pool of the BJP. If you look upon, you will find that all our leaders whether it's the Finance Minister, Defence Minister or any other, all are much more talented and are performing better than that of Congress".

Sahasrabuddhe further added that they (BJP) have been in power at the Centre for lesser time as compared to the Congress, therefore the number of BJP leaders having that level of exposure is less as compared to Congress.

Sahasrabuddhe was at the centre of a controversy yesterday after he reportedly said the party has a ‘smaller talent pool’ compared to the Congress. The report quoted him as having made these remarks in the context of a speculated overhaul of his cabinet being planned by PM Modi to weed out under-performers and improve his government's image but that he can't find the right replacements.
