Cong-Left playing game to divert attention from inflation: BJP

Jaipur, July 04: The BJP on Friday accused the Congress and Left parties of playing a 'game' on the Indo-US nuclear deal to divert public attention from price rise and inflation that has touched a 13-year high. Coming up with the allegation at a press conference here today BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy charged the Left parties with behaving like 'pranksters' with the Congress-led UPA on all issues. "Be it price rise, nuclear deal or development, the Left parties have been behaving like pranksters with the UPA, an alliance they supported at the Centre to serve their own interests," he said. Spelling the BJP'S stand on the Indo-US nuclear deal, Rudy said, the party believes that the country's nuclear programme should not be hampered and it should be ready to go for a Pokharan-III whenever required. He said the BJP would not object to such an agreement with the US. Claiming that the BJP had emerged as the political alternative at the national level after a series of electoral wins in states, Rudy said the party would contest the next general and Assembly polls on the issues of inflation, terrorism, Congress' appeasement policy, farmers' distress, and the Ramsethu project. On Amarnath land transfer row, the BJP leader said, the issue had exposed the Congress' non-secular credentials. Noting that inflation is constantly on the rise, the former Union Minister held the UPA responsible for "economic lawlessness" and demanded a white paper from the Centre on inflation and the anarchic conditions of the country's economy. "Inflation has become a death warrant against the common man which the UPA government has signed", he remarked. Bureau Report

The leftists are the biggest frauds. Their only objective is to keep BJP out of power. Since it has got to save its face and can't be seen supporting a Nuclear deal after having opposed it from the beginning, it is they who must have influenced SP to support Congress so that elections, which would favour BJP at this stage, could be avoided.
