Enthused by prospect of snap polls, BJP sought to puncture Congress' stability plank and said it was not in ruling party's DNA to run a coalition govt.
NEW DELHI: Enthused by the prospect of snap polls, Opposition BJP on Tuesday sought to puncture the Congress' stability plank and said it was not in the ruling party's DNA to run a coalition government.
Ridiculing efforts by Congress and the Left to end the nuclear stalemate, the saffron party said the "quarrelsome partners" have paralysed governance and the nation is "tired
and "fatigued" by the "farce" and "misadventure" called UPA.
"It has become clear that an alliance of mutually hostile and antagonistic elements like the Congress and the Left based solely on common hatred to the BJP is inherantly unstable," party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
He argued that the stability plank of the Congress has been "demolished and devastated" and claimed that "running a coalition government is not in the DNA of the party," which the Left has failed to notice. It is time for the UPA and the Left to call it a day and face elections, he added.
"Congress has a dominant and arrogant character fuelled by the conviction that it has the sole monopoly to decide as to what is in India's interest. The impending demise of the
UPA misadventure brings the inherant undemocratic character of Congress into sharp focus," he said.
The government is preoccupied with sorting out the differences with its Left allies while key issues like food security, national security and economic reform have been
relegated to the background, he said.
"Now the Left and the UPA are engaged in a competition to pass the buck for pushing the country into mid-term polls. The country is witnessing political brinkmanship at its worst," he added.
