Addressing his first public meeting in Chandigarh on Wednesday, BJP president Nitin Gadkari came down heavily on UPA frenemies Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Lalu Prasad Yadav.
“Woh Sonia ke talwe chatne waale kutte hain [they are dogs who lick Sonia’s feet],” Gadkari said, referring to their volte face during cut motions in parliament in the second half of the budget session in Lok Sabha.
He said they were, for all practical purposes, still part of the ruling alliance. “Fearing that CBI inquiries would be ordered against them, they quietly join hands with the Congress,” the BJP chief said.
Taking a dig at the CBI, the BJP president said the premier investigating agency should, in fact, be renamed as the Congress Bureau of Investigation. “The Congress has become a weak party, inefficient in fighting terrorism and making the country insecure,” he added.
He expressed anguish over rampant bomb blasts and Maoist attacks in the country.
Condemning the Congress for just going by “dynasty rule”, Gadkari said prime minister Manmohan Singh and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee cannot even think of ever becoming their party’s chief. Referring his elevation from a poster-pasting ordinary worker to the BJP president, Gadkari said the Congress culture was only to depend on the Nehru-Gandhi clan for leadership.
“From (Jawaharlal) Nehru to Indira Gandhi to Rajiv Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi now and in future Rahul Gandhi, the leadership issue is quite decided in the Congress,” Gadkari said.
Where has Rs445 crore that came through future trading gone, Gadkari asked Manmohan. “The money has been pocketed by MNCs, speculators and manipulators,” he said.
Quoting Planning Commission reports, he said the BPL population in the country had increased by 41 crore. He accused the Congress of backstabbing the poor.
Accusing the UPA of being indifferent to the plight of farmers, he said, taking a car on loan has become cheaper than purchasing a tractor and alleged that the government had no facility
to store one-third of the foodgrain produced by the hard-working peasants of the country.
