Salleh: Blame Dr Mahathir if BN falls in next polls


PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s actions in the past were contrary to his remarks that he does not wish to destroy Umno and that his loyalty to the party and Barisan Nasional has never wavered, said Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak.  

“Maybe Dr Mahathir forgot that during his quarrel with one-time Umno president and prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, he resigned from Umno. Because of his personal differences with the Umno leader, Dr Mahathir left the party,” posted Salleh on his blog Friday.
