BJP president Rajnath Singh today lashed out at the Congress-lead UPA government at the Centre saying there's little to celebrate in the nine-year rule of the government.
Here are the highlights of his press conference in Hyderabad:
- I wonder for what reasons is Congress celebrating its nine-year term
- They have promised that they will make Telangana a separate state
- Are they celebrating for the increase in price rises? Or is it celebrating for its involvement in corruption?
- They should celebrate after completing its 9-year full term
- After this government has come in, fiscal and current account deficit has gone up
- The value of rupee compared to the US dollar has gone down
- On every front, economic, diplomatic, this government is a failure
- China has encircled India... Pakistan, a small country, comes in, decapitates the body of our soldier and returns a body mutilated
- Whether its Burma or Bangladesh, we don't have cordial relations with anyone
- The Naxal problem is on the rise. What happened in Chhattisgarh was unfortunate, but even that is being politicised
- This government was trying to politicise the issue in Chhattisgarh and was making BJP accountable for the issue
- The state government is responsible for law and order, but this is a national problem
- To control Naxal attack they do not have any action plan
- They are still not taking this issue with seriousness
- They say that we do not let the government or Parliament function
- Our role is that of a watchdog - whatever allegations we have raised all the corruption charges were true
- We have asked for resignations of Law minister and Rail minister, has they considered it during the session all these important bills (food, land acquisition) all would have been passed
