New Delhi: Kannada writer U.R. Ananthamurthy, who had said that he would leave the country if Narendra Modi becomes the PM, on Monday said those remarks were made when he was “overcome by emotion” and clarified that he had no such plan, though he still opposes BJP.
At a media interaction, Ananthamurthy said he favoured a “supple” government, which can meet diverse demands rather than a strong government which would impose homogeneity.
“A few months ago in Bengaluru in a meeting, I was overcome by emotion, and I said I will not live in a country where Modi is PM. That was too much to say because I can’t go anywhere except India,” he said, flanked by Planning Commission member Sayeda Hameed and litterateur Ashok Vajpeyi.
