Jaitley, who spoke before Modi at the same event, said the one lesson they could learn from Singh's tenure was that the post of PM is not a mere “employment”. “It is not an employment. History won't judge you on how many years you served but what you did for the country,” he said in his dig at Singh, who had hoped history would be kinder to him than media and opposition.
He said a contest seemed to be on between Ramdev and Modi as to who is the more victimised man for UPA government's attempts to cook up false cases against them. “There won't be probably any kind of probe which has not been ordered against Modi. After 10-12 years, he has come out unscathed,” Jailtey said.
Taking on Singh for his remarks that he considered Indo-US nuclear treaty as a high point of his tenure, Jaitley said it was rather a “most shameful” moment because MPs were “bribed” to ratify the agreement in Parliament. Ramdev took objections to Singh's attack on Modi, asking if the PM had no trust in the judicial system which has given a clean chit to BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate.
