BJP plans 100 rallies to expose UPA scams
Sonepat, June 14 Two or three rallies will be held in Haryana, he added. Talking to mediapersons here after a meeting of the state office-bearers of the party, Naidu said the government was “impatient, insecure and arrogant”, and was afraid of facing the public because it had lost the faith of the people. “Under the prevailing circumstances when there is resentment against the government everywhere, the Congress may opt for imposing Emergency again in the country,” he added. “Various scams are being exposed by the CAG, opposition parties, courts and the media, and the UPA government is trying to hide the facts,” he said. Having a dig at the style of functioning of the government at the Centre, Naidu said, “The PM proposes, Madam opposes and the Cabinet disposes”, in this government. To a question about Baba Ramdev’s agitation, Naidu said the party was behind Baba Ramdev in his crusade against corruption. He alleged that the UPA Government was in the habit of misusing agencies like the CBI, the IB, the enforcement directorate and the income tax authorities to terrorise the Opposition. State BJP president Krishan Pal Gurjar, joint in charge of the party affairs in Haryana Harsh Vardhan, former minister ID Swami, MLAs Kavita Jain, Anil Vij and Ghanshyam Dass Sharraf, former MPs Kishan Singh Sangwan, Ram Chander Bainda and Rattan Lal Kataria, and state media in charge Rajiv Jain were present on the occasion.
