Uma says Mulayam a ‘fake Lohiawadi’

Bharti said that Yadav was a fake ‘Lohiawadi’ because Lohia was always against corruption and price rise. “But Yadav is supporting the corrupt UPA government,” she said.

Bharti said that Yadav’s dream of formation of a third front would be shattered after the Lok Sabha elections. On Wednesday,senior leader LK Advani in his inaugural session had also ruled out possibility of a third front and said that Lok Sabha elections would be a bipolar contest and next government in the Centre would have the support of either the BJP or the Congress.

About the recent statements of Yadav praising Advani,Bharti said: “That was a political decency of Yadav. Advani is a great personality and he deserves the praise.”

Earlier in morning session,the executive committee passed a resolution,promising overall development of Bundelkhand region after coming to power in the Centre.

Bharti targeted the UPA government and the SP government in UP for neglect of the region and alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Centre’s Bundelkhand package for the development of the area.

“Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Centre had provided Rs 3,400 crore in Bundelkhand package but the state government failed to utilise that,” said the resolution and demanded an inquiry into the alleged misuse of the package.

The resolution said that if it comes to power in the Centre,the BJP would set up an airport in Jhansi and create other infrastructure facilities for growth of the tourism sector.

The party also promised to increase the amount in Bundelkhand Development Fund that was formed by BJP government in UP in 1991-92. It promised to ensure availability of water at every doorstep in the region.

In another resolution,the party said that the UPA and SP governments were doing appeasement of Muslims. The SP government was planning to release persons lodged in jails in connection with terror incidents,it alleged.

State BJP president Laxmikant Bajpai asked party workers to stop ‘parikrama’ of party offices and become active in villages ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
