Kochi: The BJP today (Mar 18 2006) lashed out at the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, saying it was pursuing a 'divisive' agenda, which was 'dangerous' for the country and predicted a re-alignment of forces after the coming assembly elections.

The UPA government was following a 'blatant communal agenda' of vote bank politics to garner votes, BJP Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu told a meet-the-press programme, organised by the Ernakulam Press club here.

After the assembly elections, there would be a realignment of forces. The Congress would lose in Assam, Pondicherry and Kerala, he said.

The UPA will become 'DPA' (Divided Political Alliance), with many front partners leaving it. The MDMK had aligned with the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu for the election and the honeymoon with TRS and SP was over. "Besides, the Left parties tone and tenor of criticism of the government in every issue has increased."

Since the UPA was bent on 'dividing' the country once again, the BJP had decided to launch the twin yatras, which would be led by L K Advani from Rajkot and BJP President Rajnath Singh from Puri, Naidu said.

He said the UPA government has asked district Collectors to give a list of Muslim voters in the Parliamentary and assembly constituencies. The Prime Minister had sent a circular to all states in this regard, he said.

Citing examples of the Congress party's 'divisive' agenda, Naidu said it had brought in communal reservation in some states, proposed to introduce communal reservation in IITs and IIMs, besides embarking on a communal headcount in the army.

In Kerala, the Congress-led UDF was seeking the release of PDP leader, Abdul Nasser Madhani, imprisoned in connection with the Coimbatore blasts case. This was a classic case of the blatant communal approach of the Congress, he alleged.

He also pointed out that Madani was accused of killing several people and was allegedly associated with the ISI and said the ruling UDF and opposition CPI(M)-led LDF fronts in Kerala were seeking his release.
