“If Mr Gowda claims that the crow is white, I cannot help it,” says Murthy


BANGALORE: Infosys chairman and chief mentor, N R Narayana Murthy today denied the charges levelled against him by HD Deve Gowda that he was meddling with the state politics and his company was involved in real estate business.

"It is as good as somebody claiming that the Sun rises in the West. If Mr Gowda claims that the crow is white, I cannot help it," Murthy told reporters.

Meanwhile, Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor, Republic of Singapore, today visited the corporate headquarters of Infosys here.

Murthy welcomed Lee Kuan Yew to Infosys, where he spent three hours interacting with Infoscions and touring the campus.

Welcoming Lee Kuan Yew, Murthy said, "It is a privilege for us to welcome Mr. Lee Kuan Yew to Infosys. Singapore has clearly proved that the only raw materials required for economic progress are leadership, aspiration, imagination, meritocracy, openness to learn from others, focus on benchmarking on a global scale, hard work and discipline. He is a man I respect immensely since he has raised the aspirations of his people and made them courageous to dream the impossible, and work hard and smart to convert that dream into reality."
