The BJP coined a new catch phrase against the Congress-led central government – ‘For God’s sake UPA, please go and spare India’.
NEW DELHI: The BJP coined on Tuesday a new catch phrase against the Congress-led central government – ‘For God’s sake UPA, please go and spare India’. It also called the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) an ulta-pulta alliance.
Party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad charged that the “nation is tired and indeed fatigued by the farce which goes in the name of the United Progressive Alliance. It is now finally evident that an alliance of mutually-hostile and antagonistic elements — the Congress and the Left — based solely on common hatred for the BJP is inherently unstable. A nation raring to leap forward has become a victim of a paralysed central government.”
Prasad charged that the two major quarrelsome partners had virtually paralysed governance and vital decision-making. “Be it the issue of food security, compelling matters of national security, or pressing problems of aam adami, all have been disturbingly relegated to the background. Major decisions on economic issues in a government led by the so-called pioneer of economic reform, Dr Manmohan Singh, have been put in cold storage.
The BJP was sarcastic of the Left’s stance and the Congress president being compared with her mother-in-law, Indira Gandhi.
Prasad said one was surprised as to “how parties of the Left failed to note that running a coalition government is not in the DNA of Congress. The Congress has a dominant character fuelled by the conviction that it has the monopoly to decide what is in India’s interest. In its sheer opportunism, the Left forgot its past where it had been a victim of the Congress’ arrogance.
The impending demise of the UPA misadventure brings the inherent undemocratic character of the Congress into sharp focus. The statement of Sonia Gandhi in Haryana that anyone opposing the nuclear deal is against the nation, gave unmistakable glimpses of the theme slogans of the Emergency days in the seventies that the `history of the Congress is the history of India’ and ‘Indira is India’ and those ‘who oppose the Congress oppose India’.
Let Mrs Gandhi note that the India of 2007 is not the India of 1975. The roots of democracy are much stronger now.”
