BJP evasive on main people’s issue: Lok Gathbandhan Party

Lucknow March 18: The Lok Gathbandhan Party (LGP) said today that BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is evasive on people’s real issues in the election and has resorted to sloganeering like “Chawkidar” etc which hardly matters in highly corruption-ridden government under its dispensation during the last five years. The LGP said the BJP will not be politically benefitted by pitching in for such slogans.
The spokesman of the LGP headed by former Secretary Government of India Vijay Shankar Pandey, who is contesting election from Faizabad, said here on Monday that after failing on developmental issue, the BJP has now turned to politics of paranoia for political gains. The spokesman said these diversionary tactics are unlikely to help the BJP as the performance of NDA government is dismal and people appear to be ready to dislodge the alliance. The spokesman said reports indicate that massive anti-incumbency is prevailing in rural areas and for this reasons the BJP leadership is raking up directionless issue. The spokesman said in the past also the BJP tried to play on Pakistan and Bangladesh fear during election and has again turned to same tactics to push the real issues under the carpet. The spokesman said in view of complete failure in eliminating massive corruption in government the BJP’s “mai bhi chowkidar” slogan is totally farce and does not carry any conviction. The spokesman said the people are quite vigilant and have seen through the game plan.
The spokesman said the BJP has long history of playing to politics of misleading sloganeering for its vote bank. However with dismal performance both at the centre and in UP even its core vote has fragmented, the spokesman said and added there is now desperation in the BJP camp because of the hostile response of the people in rural areas. The spokesman said that NDA’s story is the story of utter failure on economic front as the country has been passing through massive crisis, so there are desperate efforts to push these people’s issues under the rug. The spokesman said BJP leaders are maintaining stoic silence on the performance of NDA and hunting to catch emotive straw that could help them. The spokesman said India’s economic growth story under NDA has been miserable, as it has no positive impact on the people across the social spectrum in the country.
