Chennai: The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) today (Feb 1, 2005) charged the Congress of misusing the office of Governor in Goa to "destabilise" the BJP Government there.

Talking to reporters in Chennai, senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said the Congress had "gone back to the days of destabilisation game". "They do not want to face the Assembly and wants the dismissal of Manohar Parrikar Government," he said.

He said the Parrikar Government would prove its majority in the House.

He charged the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh of adopting ''double standards''.

While criticising the Chautala Government in Haryana for the law and order situation there, the Prime Minister was silent on Rabri Devi Government in Bihar, which was running a "jungle and rakshasa sarkar".

On the burning of the helicopter he travelled in Bihar, Naidu said the police did not even bother to visit the village even after 14 hours of the incident, though a police station was located just 13 km away. "I travelled in a motor bike to reach the national highway, where six policemen saw me and told that they were waiting for him. I asked them whether they were waiting for me or for my body. By god's grace, I escaped," he said.

He said the situation in Bihar was serious and fair poll was impossible there now unless the Election Commission took some serious measures. The paramilitary forces should be brought under the control of the observers of Election Commission and not under the State administration, Naidu said.
