Finding something good Modi has done is like looking for needle in haystack: Khurshid

New Delhi: Finding something good Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid said on Sunday, days after some party leaders called for praising the PM whenever he does good work.

Khurshid also said the Congress has “very serious concerns” about how the country is being run.

His remarks come days after Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said Prime Minister Modi’s governance model is not a “complete negative story” and not recognising his work and demonising him all the time is not going to help.

Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Abhishek Manu Singhvi had also backed Ramesh over the remarks, saying the prime minister should be praised for doing the right things.

“From my point of view, it would be (like) looking for a needle in a haystack to find something good that he (Modi) has done,” Khurshid told PTI in an interview.

On the remarks by Ramesh and other leaders calling for not demonising Modi, the former Union minister said he would not like to give “one on one” responses as it would create more confusion.

“He (Ramesh) has said what he had to say. Each one of us articulates things in a manner which is suitable (to oneself). As I said, for me saying something nice about Mr. Modi would be like looking for a needle in a haystack,” he said.

On whether Sonia Gandhi assuming charge as interim Congress chief had put an end to uncertainty and infighting prevailing in the party, Khurshid said he hopes so.

The party workers were hoping that Sonia Gandhi would come back for good, but the indication she has repeatedly given is that it is a “very temporary holding operation”, Khurshid said.
