Yatra for India,not for me or BJP or elections: Advani

Writing in his latest blog,while on a two-day Diwali break from the “anti-corruption” yatra,he said his campaign was aimed at reinfusing among people the confidence they had lost in India’s glory due to the “failings” of the UPA government. “My yatra is to reinfuse confidence in the people that the failings of the UPA should not be allowed to demoralise the country,and that we the people should concentrate on making the twenty-first century India’s century in spite of all the failures of the UPA,” Advani said.

Blaming the Congress-led coalition for the recent scandals,he said that in the last couple of decades,India had earned a reputation as a remarkable democracy and a country on its way to becoming a major economic power in the 21st century.

Again hammering India’s cause,which,he said,had been damaged due to UPA’s corruption,he said,”The sense of confidence and self-esteem that had been building up in the people has been seriously undermined because of the happenings of this last year–numerous scams surfacing,several central ministers being removed and even jailed because of corruption,and the cash-for-votes scandal in which instead of the bribe-givers,it was the whistle-blowers,who had exposed the scandal,who have been put behind bars.”
