ELECT A LEADER WHO THINK ABOUT POOR

NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul has hoped that the new Prime Minister will "not worry" about a "few industrialists" and run a government that thinks for the poor. "We are present here at the time of the elections which is a great time because it is the largest democracy in the world and a very stable democracy. Whether it is India Shining or Incredible India it has failed the poor of the country. So elect a government that thinks for the poor," Lord Paul said at a conference organised by University of Wolverhampton here on Wednesday. "Let us hope that whoever the Indian people elect (to be the Prime Minister) will do a good job... I hope that whoever wins, makes it a point not just to worry about a few industrialists but the 1.2 billion people of India," he earlier told PTI. He was asked about the prospects of BJP-led NDA coming to power under the stewardship of Narendra Modi. "It is from you people (media) that I learn who is going to be the next Prime Minister," he quipped.
