MUMBAI, February 14: A meeting held by the Congress-Republican Party of India (RPI) combine on Friday expressed confidence that they would win the elections to all the Lok Sabha seats in Mumbai this time.
Murli Deora, president of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena (BJP-SS) government saying that it could not control its own state administration. He claimed that this had even prompted Bal Thackeray, the self-proclaimed “remote control” of the government, to issue a threat that he would stage a demonstration at Mantralaya to get his own government to work.
Deora alleged that the alliance government, which followed a one-point programme of sticking to power, had totally failed in its performance and had gone back on its promises to the people.
