Modi not best for India: Amartya Sen
"It's not the best for India, (but) I don't know if we are completely doomed. I won't damn a Modi rule at the outset and there are degrees of damnation," Sen told NDTV channel.
He said it was "silly" that some people have said about leaving the country if a Modi government is formed at the Centre.
"You don't migrate because of the wrong government, you vote it out,'' the world-renowned economist said.
He also indicated that he would have preferred the BJP led into the elections by someone other than Modi.
"I have had good relations with other BJP leaders and there are lot of things of interest in the BJP, although the BJP will never be my party," he told the channel.
However, he said, "I am not pro-Congress...the Congress record is not very good."
Describing PM Manmohan Sigh as his friend, Sen said that he "may have liked to do much more, but with Parliament hardly functioning, his role was limited."
