Congress-led Govt full of contradictions: BJP Thursday, May 27 2004 18:15 Hrs (IST)
New Delhi:
Keeping up its attack on the Congress-led coalition Government, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today (May 27, 2004) focussed on the "contradictions" in the alliance and the inclusion of six MPs in the Union Council of Ministers who are chargesheeted and have criminal records.
"This Government is full of contradictions. It is a minority Government floating with outside support of 120 MPs who fought against the Congress-led alliance in the Lok Sabha polls. Of these 120, there are 60 who do not see eye to eye with each other," said party spokesman Prakash Javadekar, referring to the support given by Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
He said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Opposition would also raise the issue of the inclusion of "tainted" MPs in the Union Council of Ministers, especially Laloo Prasad, Mohammed Taslimuddin, Jaiprakash Narayan Yadav, M A Fatmi, Akhilesh Yadav and Premchand Gupta.
"It is a Government headed by a Mr Clean with tainted Ministers," Javadekar said.
He said while the Government claimed to be a secular one, it had a "communal party" Muslim League, which was yet another "contradiction" in the coalition.
