Making BJP’s first move to reach out to non-NDA parties on the Presidential poll, party leader L K Advani on Thursday discussed the issue with AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa with both deciding to coordinate with each other and slamming the UPA for handling the matter ‘clumsily’.
‘All names figured... doesn’t need elaboration. We will coordinate and see to it that the decision as to who is the President of the country is taken properly and we will coordinate about that with all parties,’ Advani told reporters after a 45-minute meeting with Jayalalithaa here.
Coming down heavily on the UPA on its handling of the Presidential election issue, Advani said, ‘I have never seen any earlier government handling an important election like the presidential election so clumsily in such a manner that its position gets worse day-by-day.’
Since the time the scams broke out two-and-half years ago, there had been a ‘paralysis’ of decision making in the UPA Government affecting every part and every sector of governance, he added.
Agreeing with Advani that the UPA had handled presidential poll issue ‘clumsily’, Jayalalithaa said recent events showed the issue had been ‘botched up’ by the Congress.
