Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) president Thol. Thirumavalvan on Saturday said Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah could make a good Prime Minister.
Speaking at an award function organised by the VCK in which Mr. Siddaramaiah was conferred the Ambedkar Sudar Award, Mr. Thirumavalavan acknowledged that his opinion could be viewed as controversial. “Someone may ask why am I mentioning the name of Siddaramaiah for Prime Ministership when Rahul Gandhi is there. It is for the Congress party to choose,” he said.
He said he thought Mr. Siddaramaiah could be a good choice for Prime Minister because of his visionary leadership and ideological commitment to oppose the Sanatana forces. Alleging that the BJP either tries to entice or threaten by filing cases if it wants to bring someone into its fold, he said that there was a need for a leader who could not be threatened and who was uncompromising in opposing the BJP.
