There is no difference between Cong and PM: Babbar

Referring to Rahul Gandhi's denouncement of the ordinance on convicted lawmakers, Congress said it should not be seen as a manifestation of differences between the party and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Raising people-related issues should not be taken as the organisation's unhappiness with the government, Congress spokesman Raj Babbar said here yesterday, adding "there is no difference between the Congress and the government".
"Rahul Gandhi has made a comment on the ordinance following his inner voice and it cannot be taken as difference between the Prime Minister and the organisation," Babbar said.
To a question whether Rahul Gandhi's statement has damaged the Prime Minister's prestige, Babbar said Rahul never had any intention of undermining the Prime Minister.

Claiming that the Prime Minister has taken Rahul's views in a positive note, he said, "On his return from the United States, the Prime Minister would take a decision on the ordinance at a cabinet meeting."
There is coordination between the party and the government and if people from the organisation comment on public opinion on a particular issue it should not be taken as differences, he said.
The Congress spokesman said that the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh has failed on all fronts.
However, there is no plan to impose President's Rule in the state, he added.
