Last day of BJP meeting: Advani, Modi to take centre-stage | The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will today wrap up its three-day brain-storming sessions at Surajkund in Haryana.
Senior BJP leader LK Advani will address the gathering of over 300 top party leaders. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's speech will also be keenly watched
and assessed. A political resolution is expected to be passed against the UPA
Government's policies and the corruption scandals it is mired in. On Thursday,
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley, said: "We are not against
reforms, but every change cannot be called a reform." "BJP is committed to reforms
which are in national interest. Reforms are not what Western powers define them
to be... It is unfortunate that we accept the definition that foreign nations
give to reforms," Jaitley said while moving the party's economic resolution at
the National Executive meeting. However, terming the Congress-led UPA-II Government
as the most corrupt in the history of independent India , party president Nitin
Gadkari said the country needs leadership and vision. Gadkari said: "UPA Government
has achieved new milestones in corruption and broken all records in the past 65
years. Whether in the skies, or on land or under it (2G, Commonwealth, Coal) they
have a scam everywhere." "Now, the country needs leadership and vision. You can
donate an eye but not vision. They are looting the country and we have become
a rich nation with a poor population," he added. Taking a dig at the Prime Minister,
Gadkari said: "Manmohan Singh is on silence mode...why has become Maunmohan?"
Further describing the UPA as a sinking ship, Gadkari said: "Trinamool Congress's
withdrawal proves that the BJP's experiment with a 23-party coalition under Atal
Bihari Vajpayee was more successful. Manmohan Singh-led UPA Government is facing
intense pressure from the opposition parties over the slew of reforms announced
recently. UPA Government has also lost the support of the Mamata Banerjee-led
Trinamool Congress (TMC), which has withdrawn its support over the move to allow
FDI in multi-brand retail, a cap on the number of LPG gas and diesel price hike.
