Congress-led UPA’s four years in office an advertisement of its failure says Advani
As the Congress-led UPA government approaches the end of its fourth year in office, its track record has become an advertisement of its failure on almost all fronts says Advani. he also said that if the UPA government’s failure to contain price rise is threatening Aam Aadmi’s economic security, its failure to contain terrorism is threatening India’s national security.
Advani said that not a single case of terrorist attack has been fully investigated and culprits brought to justice in the UPA rule.
Talking about Congress (I) Advani said that the Congress party sought votes in the Lok Sabha elections in April-May 2004 in the name of the Aam Aadmi. Four years later, its betrayal of the common man is most glaringly evident in its total failure to check skyrocketing prices of all the essential commodities and services. Each passing week sees further increase in the rate of inflation, which now stands at a four-year high of 7.83 per cent. Many economists have noted that the official inflation rate does not fully reflect the true extent of the rise in prices that has taken place under the UPA rule. This is evident, for example, from the manner in which the government’s management of the oil pool account is going haywire.
As far as the common man is concerned, inflation is a silent killer. It has eroded the already meager earnings of the poor and middle classes, forcing them to cut down on the consumption of basic items such as milk, vegetables, pulses and other sources of protein. Thus, millions of people have been pushed below the poverty line and those that are already BPL families have become further pauperized.
