Vajpayee survival doubtful, says Kanshi Ram

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA  
JAIPUR, OCT 15: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Kanshi Ram expressed doubt on Friday over the stability of Vajpayee-led government at the Centre and claimed that the next Lok Sabha elections would be held by the end of next year.

"It is not me who is doubting stability of Vajpayee government but leaders of coalition partners like Ramkrishna Hegde of Lok Shakti and Manohar Joshi of Shiv Sena are making such noises," Kanshi Ram told reporters here.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, with 24 coalition partners, is ``more weaker'' than any other government in the past and would not survive for long, he claimed, adding the next parliamentary elections would be held in November next year.

After succeeding in increasing its vote share in Uttar Pradesh and other North Indian states, BSP is now trying to make inroads into Southern states by making Karnataka its next focal point, he said.

BSP, he said, would firmly come into reckoning within the next five to six years after passing through thetransitory period.

Regarding Uttar Pradesh, the BSP Chief said his party would never become part of any front and would contest all the 425 assembly seats of the State in the next elections on its own.

BSP would soon launch a movement to force the Congress government in Rajasthan to fulfill its poll promise of giving OBC (other backward caste) status to Jats, he said.
