Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday said in coalition politics compromises have to be made for the sake of running the government.
“I know my responsibilities, but I have some constraints too. In coalition politics you have to make compromises to manage a coalition government,” he said facing TV channel editors to clear his stand on corruption issue.
“There has been no back room talks (on ISRO-Devas),” he said, replying to a question by a channel editor on the S-band controversy.
The Prime Minister earlier said he was no lame duck and would effect a cabinet reshuffle after budget presentation.
He promised to bring down food inflation.
He said he is not scared of facing the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe on any corruption issue.
He said efforts are on to ensure the budget session functions with Opposition unlike the winter session which was deadlocked over the demand for a JPC by the Opposition.
