UPA were liability in power, and continue so as oppn: Jaitley
The Union minister was speaking at the BJP's National Council meeting held here. In his speech, Jaitley accused the UPA government of failing to check corruption and poor showing on the economic front, internal security, foreign policy and other sectors.
"When Congress was in power, its policies had become a liability on this country and its economy. Even as an opposition now, their role is the same, to create obstacles so that the NDA cannot achieve quick progress," Jaitley said. "From what has been seen in the last one week, this is what is becoming clear...They were a liability on the economy when in power, they want to continue to be a liability when they are in opposition," he said.
Jaitley however expressed confidence that BJP "will fulfill" the historical mandate that it has been handed over by the people of the country in the elections. "We had some information, but after coming into government we realised that how bad a state of affairs the Congress has left," Jaitley said.
The BJP leader claimed during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's prime ministership, it was said that the construction of roads had received a boost. He said that there was not just corruption but also "institutional subversion" to cover that corruption. He claimed people have hope from the Modi government that it will rebuild the country and added that in 75 days efforts have been made in this direction.
"Now there is a hope from the Narendra Modi government that you rebuild this country. This challenge the BJP, NDA government has accepted with courage," Jaitley said. Talking about the steps taken by the Modi government, he said the UPA did not form a SIT on blackmoney but the Modi government immediately did it.
