  • 5 years ago
BJP-backed Presidential poll candidate P A Sangma today targeted Finance Minister and UPA nominee Pranab Mukherjee, holding him accountable for the country's economic slowdown. The former Lok Sabha Speaker said he is now hoping for a "miracle" to emerge a winner, even as he denied being a "tool" in the hands of those supporting him. "If the rupee is at an all time low, if the international rating for credit has been downgraded, (there is) so much of corruption, who is responsible...?" he asked. Sangma, who is supported by BJP, AIADMK and BJD, was talking to reporters in Amritsar during a visit to the revered Sikh shrine Golden Temple.
