Javadekar also took on the UPA, accusing it of indulging in corruption and remaining inefficient. He also criticised Manmohan Singh as a weak prime minister and cited the recent book by former media advisor to the PM, Sanjaya Baru, in which it was revealed that the real power lied with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and not Singh.
