PUNE, Jan 7: Stating that the Vajpayee Government had no immediate threat, former Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar yesterday observed that the situation in the country would worsen further if the Congress came into power.
In an informal chat with the media persons at Parandwadi, about 35 km here, Chandra Shekhar expressed dissatisfaction over the performance of the Vajpayee government. He, however, maintained that the government had no threat because of the political equations at present. Answering a question on sacking of Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat, Chandra Shekhar opined that the defence authorities had to follow the orders of the cabinet ministry. He warned that the situation would become serious if the defence authorities defied the cabinet orders. He said Bhagwat should have chosen other ways to raise his complaints instead of defying the cabinet order. The former Prime Minister maintained that the statement and counter-statements over the issue were not in good taste.
