The Parliamentary Board of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) met on Tuesday with their focus on the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, which will be completing its nine years on Wednesday. During the meeting, it was decided that the party will come out with a point by point rebuttal on the failure of the government on foreign policy, economic issues, corruption and the Jail Bharo Aandolan of the party which will commence from 27 May. The party is likely to come out with a counter-report card against the UPA-II government to highlight the shortcomings of the Manmohan Singh dispensation.
The meeting was attended by Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi for the first time since being made a member of the highest decision-making body on 31 March. As part of its strategy in run-up to the next LS polls, it was decided that week-long agitation programmes will be undertaken across the country from next Monday to highlight the failures of the UPA government. Modi, who is being projected by some in BJP as its prime ministerial candidate, pushed for greater use of social media to reach out more effectively to the people, especially the youth.
‘We discussed the nine years of UPA rule. This government has failed on all fronts be it price rise, internal and external security or the economic situation. BJP will launch a jail bharo (court arrest) programme from 27 May to 2 June,’ said Board’s secretary Ananth Kumar.The top brass also discussed the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi and Jharkhand to be held later this year. The Parliamentary Board also discussed issues related to the upcoming meetings of BJP National office-bearers and executive to be held in Goa from 7 to 9 June, Kumar said.
At the meeting chaired by party president Rajnath Singh and attended by L Advani and other leaders, Modi said the failures of the UPA rule should be discussed and people should be informed about them.
