The BJP said the UPA government is heading towards a minority even with Samajwadi Party support as it faces a revolt-like situation on the nuclear deal issue.
LUCKNOW: The BJP on Monday said the UPA government is heading towards a minority even with Samajwadi Party support as it faces a revolt-like situation on the nuclear deal issue and it will be best for it to seek a vote of confidence in Lok Sabha before moving ahead on the deal.
"In the event of Left parties withdrawing support, the UPA government will be in minority even with the support of the 39-member SP as there has been a revolt-like situation in the parliamentary party," BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said here.
"It would be morally right for the UPA government to seek a confidence vote before advancing in the nuclear deal," Naqvi said.
He said the "midnight deal" between Congress and SP is more dangerous than the N-deal and people should know why the party which had been opposing the deal and harping on "anti-Congress" slogan for which it formed the UNPA did a U-turn.
On senior leader Jaswant Singh's admission on the offer to UNPA leaders to form a government under in its leadership by toppling the UPA government, Naqvi said Singh said that as the Centre was following anti-people policies.
Naqvi refused to give a direct reply to speculations that number of parties in the NDA would go up with the UNPA falling apart saying "NDA constituents are firmly with us".
He said his party would have no truck with either the BSP or SP in Uttar Pradesh as governments of both the parties have merely been looting the people of the state.
He also termed developments in Jammu and Kashmir over the issue of transfer of forest land to the Amarnath shrine board resulting in the fall of the Ghulam Nabi Azad government as "conspiracy of Congress and PDP to prove to the terrorists and separatists that they were sympathetic to them".
