Jaitley takes on AAP, UPA again

Update: 2014-01-23 23:17 GMT
Describing Aam Aadmi Party’s manner of protest as ‘unacceptable’, BJP on Wednesday said the party would not appeal to Lok Sabha voters as it is anarchic and lacks the qualities required for providing much-needed political stability and responsible governance.

In a signed article, Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the political developments of the last few days are encouraging for the BJP. He claimed that the performance of Congress-led UPA is shaky and non-inspirational while AAP’s conduct in the last week belied hopes in some sections that it would be able to obstruct BJP’s growth.

‘A failed Congress, an anarchic AAP, a non-existent Third Front will all contribute to the BJP and Narendra Modi surge,’ he said. He predicted that the next Lok Sabha elections would be ‘quasi-presidential’- alluding to a Modi versus Rahul Gandhi contest- and this would help BJP and its prime ministerial candidate.
