New Delhi, December 6
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today disagreed with those in the Congress who were dismissive of the challenge posed by Narendra Modi but asserted that the party would approach the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with self-confidence, irrespective of the results of the just concluded elections in five states.

“As it is an organised party, we cannot underestimate the power of the Opposition to unsettle the ship of the state. Therefore, I am one of those who take very seriously our opponents. There is no room for complacency,” he said.

The PM was answering questions at a function organised by a newspaper here. Singh also criticised those who tried to accuse theentire political class of being corrupt and spread cynicism. — PTI
