Nagpur: Alleging that Congress was suffering from "confusion, contradiction and convulsion on major issues of national importance", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Venkaiah Naidu on March 6 said unless the party made its stand clear, it would suffer heavy electoral reverses.

Naidu, who arrived in Nagpur to attend the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) meet, told a press conference that Congress was sending confusing signals on major issues like terrorism, infiltration, ban on religious conversions, cow slaughter, economic policies and above all, Ayodhya issue.

"BJP will launch a nation-wide campaign to expose the utter confusion in Congress, and make sure these issues haunt Congress during run up to the next elections," he said.

Naidu reiterated his party's stand, saying it was committed to construction of temple at Ayodhya and also in favour of a stringent anti-conversion law, effective ways to tackle infiltration, particularly from Bangladesh, and ban on cow slaughter.

While Congress in states like Madhya Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh had laws banning religious conversions, its leaders in Delhi were raising objections to such laws elsewhere, he alleged.

To a question on Ayodhya dispute, the BJP president made it clear his party was committed to honour the court verdict if an amicable solution through dialogue was not possible. Welcoming the Allahabad High Court decision ordering excavation at the disputed site, he said it would unravel the truth.
