Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Jan 18, 2019: Union minister Jayant Sinha on Thursday, 17 January, said the "most likely" outcome of the ensuing Lok Sabha elections is that India may not get a strong and stable government, Yahoonews reported.

 

The country has transformed and the priority now is to inform the people about this change, the minister said.

"If indeed we end up in a situation where we don’t have a strong, stable government, (which) I think that is in fact the most likely case, I think that will be something that will not be good for India going forward," he said, speaking at the CNBC-TV18’s India Business Leadership Awards ceremony in Mumbai.

"For us, the goal is to inform, to ensure that people understand all that we have done and all that is at risk," Sinha said.

Sinha’s remarks come in the backdrop of the setback the ruling BJP suffered in Assembly elections in three Hindi heartland states recently.

Speaking at the event, industrialist Sajjan Jindal called the (2019 Lok Sabha) elections as one of the biggest risks (to the economy) the country is staring at.

On his expectations from the next government, he said the influence of state-run companies should diminish.
