UPA govt helpless,none willing to take responsibility: BJP

BJP president Nitin Gadkari regretted the Manmohan Singh government’s inability to own responsibility for its decisions.

BJP president Nitin Gadkari on Sunday regretted the Manmohan Singh government’s inability to own responsibility for its decisions.

“To be accountable to people is the most significant part of democracy. But today nobody in this government is ready to take responsibility.The government continues to be helpless. Decisions of national interest are being sidelined. Only corruption rules the roost,’’ Gadkari told mediapersons here.

He said the BJP had decided to kickstart nationwide agitations beginning from the party’s establishment day on April 6 to June 20 in order to focus on the sentiments of the people and liberate them from the misgovernance of the Congress and the UPA. “Dharnas,demonstrations,jan adalats will be held in villages,towns and cities throughout the country to highlight the rampant corruption perpetrated by the UPA government,its failure to check price rise,its dilly-dallying approach to bring black money from abroad and take action against those responsible for the sale and purchase of MPs,’’ he said. “The agitations will continue till this Congress government mends its ways. In case,it does not,the BJP’s Jan Andolan will compel it out of power.’’
