My career is like a spotless white sheet: Vajpayee
Friday, October 10 2003 23:13 Hrs (IST)

Bangkok: Declaring that his entire political career was like a "white sheet", Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on October 10 night said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had done a "good job" at governance but if people wanted they could "remove me from power".

"My political career and life is like a white sheet with no spots. If people do not like the achievements that have taken place during my governance, they can remove me from power. There is Democracy in this country," he said addressing a large gathering of Indians.

Recalling his career in politics and his presence in Parliament since 1957, he said he had never defected to any party and remained loyal to the principles of the Jana Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"There have been times when governments have changed and even Indira Gandhi was defeated after the Emergency, but it was Democracy that brought her back. I am proud of Democracy that exists in the country," he said.

Observing that there might be some political differences with the Opposition within India, the Prime Minster said when it came to projecting the country abroad the entire political leadership was united and there was no difference of opinion.

"We are all together, even though we might have some differences back home," he added.
