UPA government will not survive beyond Winter Session: BJP

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday staged a demonstration at Jantar Mantar against the recent steep hike in prices of cooking gas, electricity and diesel.

   

Many prominent leaders like Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Vijay Kumar Malhotra  participated in the protest organised by BJP Delhi Pradesh Mahila Morcha.

   

Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj has claimed that the UPA government will not be able to survive beyond the Winter Session of Parliament.

Slamming the government as the being the most corrupt, Arun Jaitley said the government was also not sensitive to people.

“The government is not sensitive- PM says money doesn't grow on trees. We knew that - but the people of this country will teach the PM a lesson; if money doesn't grow on trees, votes are also not to be found on trees.    This is the most corrupt government in India's history,” he said. 

The Delhi unit of the party is all set to launch a 40-day public movement in the national capital from October 14 to protest against hike in power tariff, cooking gas and oil and decision to allow FDI in retail by the government.

The party claimed the country is heading towards mid-term polls and parties like Samajwadi Party, BSP and DMK, all UPA allies, will not support the government in Parliament on the issue of FDI.
