With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stating that opposition played an obstructionist role in Parliament, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday hit back saying instead of pointing finger at others, he should explain his record in power for the last nine years. Referring to Singh’s remarks that opposition was ‘doubly disappointed’ when UPA came to power for a second time, BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said as regards BJP’s disappointment, she would not like to comment but would ask the Prime Minister to explain his record in office for the past nine years.
‘Leave what the BJP feels. We are frustrated or not, you will see how people are going to respond to you after this, blaming Opposition shows you have no answers to give to the country,’ said Sitharaman. The BJP leader said that the Prime Minister should explain why he has failed to function despite having the mandate. ‘I would rather have the Prime Minister talk about why he has failed to function even after having the mandate given to him. He had the mandate in 2004 and 2009. Instead of pointing a finger at BJP, you had the mandate, tell us your record. Tell us what is your performance Prime Minister,’ said Sitharaman.
Referring to the first 100 days' agenda of UPA II, Sitharaman said that the UPA government has failed to fulfill any promise that they made. 'Your 100 days list remains where it was in 2009 What happened to the 100-day promise you gave - within 100 days Telangana, within 100 days Food Security Bill, within 100 days Women's Reservation Bill, more importantly, within 100 days controlling the prices,' said Sitharaman.
