BJP Vice President Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, whose remarks had stirred a row, today said there is absolutely no question of any dearth of talent in BJP and that its ministers both at the Centre and states have fared far better than those of Congress and other parties.
He was reacting to media reports after an international news agency quoted him as having said that "compared to the Congress, we (BJP) have a smaller talent pool and less exposure."
"There is absolutely no question of any dearth of talent in BJP. BJP ministers both at the Centre and states have fared far better than those of Congress and other parties and there is enough empirical evidence to that effect.
"The limited point that was made was due to less number of years of BJP government at the Centre, we have limited number of persons with exposure at the Centre," Sahasrabuddhe said today in a clarification.
