Paji, March 29: A day in the life of an Indian politician or bureaucrat also mirrors the comic scerios depicted in the popular British sitcom ‘Yes Minister’ and ‘Yes Prime Minister’, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday.
Speaking during a function organised by Assocham during the ongoing Defence Expo 2016 in South Goa’s Betul village, Parrikar also explained the nuances behind popular bureaucratic cliches “under consideration” and “under active consideration” to industry captains and foreign delegates who attended the event.
“Before I entered politics, I not only watched BBC’s ‘Yes Minister’ (and) ‘Yes Prime Minister’ series, but I must have read the books eight to ten times. But I realised that it actually works that way when I joined politics, entered assembly and (later) was a chief minister,” the former Goa chief minister said. (IANS)
