Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh):
Claiming that people from all hues were getting attracted towards National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani today (Apr 26, 2004) said many leaders and political parties are eager to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance after the Lok Sabha polls.
"Apart from NDA partners, there are many leaders and parties who are eagerly waiting to join us after the Parliament elections...They are convinced about the BJP-led alliance's capability to stable Government," Advani said at an election meeting in Chhatarpur.
The Deputy Prime Minister, however, did not mention names of any leader or political party who he claimed wanted to join NDA.
People were apprehensive about BJP's capability in providing political stability when the Government was formed under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee but all their doubts were cleared in the past six years, as "they were impressed by our stable and efficient governance", he said.
Stating that BJP was the only party in the country thinking and working for national and social good, Advani said Assemblies and Parliament are different fora to serve the country and society for his party.
"I am happy that the task of social service was entrusted to us is being carried out properly as we work like family member and not politicians in BJP...Our aim is to transform India into a great nation," Advani said.
