Give some ‘rest’ to PM, Sonia and Dikshit: Advani

Using the Delhi polls as a launch pad for the Lok Sabha elections, L K Advani asked voters to give ‘some rest’ to PM Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi saying their Govt had ‘betrayed’ the common man.

Using the Delhi polls as a launch pad for the Lok Sabha elections, BJP’s senior leader L K Advani asked voters to give ‘some rest’ to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi saying their government had ‘betrayed’ the common man.

Addressing his first election meeting in the national capital on Tuesday evening, the top BJP leader said his party is ready to take over from the Congress and asked the electorate to vote for his party contending that it would be the ‘vote for nationalism’.

“A wise voter always measures the government and accordingly decides whether to punish or reward. I would urge to decide to give up with this government which had done nothing but mis-governance,” Advani said at the meeting in Budh Vihar in north Delhi.

“I would ask you all to work hard to give some rest to Sonia Gandhi, the Prime Minister and (Delhi Chief Minister) Sheila Dikshit. Tell them that we (BJP) are ready to take over,” he said.

Noting that Delhiites are ‘fortunate’ to have the opportunity to punish the UPA twice once in the Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, he alleged that Congress came to power on the common man plank but ‘worked only to betray’ them.
