Tirupur (Tamil Nadu): Prime Minister A B Vajpayee today (May 5, 2004) asked Congress president Sonia Gandhi not to bother about his party but instead worry about her own.

Reacting to Gandhi raising the question of his successor, Vajpayee told a public meeting in Tirupur this evening, "It is laughable to raise this question. I wish to tell you need not bother about us. You worry about your own party".

"There is no struggle for power in our party history," he said while seeking the support of the electorate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) candidates in Coimbatore, Nilgiris and Pollachi.
