A quick U-turn

Senior lawyer Ram Jethmalani is often in the news for his statements. On Wednesday he did it again. While speaking at a youth programme in New Delhi the nonagenarian lawyer said, "While I don't want to be the prime minister, I am more qualified than many." With the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi sitting in the first row at the function, Jethmalani quickly added, "Except one", and went ahead elaborating on Modi's virtues.
