'NDA will wipe out terrorism if voted back': Rajnath

Vijayawada, Nov 20 (UNI) BJP President Rajnath Singh today said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would wipe out terrorism from the country if it came back to power in the next Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing a public meeting here, he said terrorist activities were on the rise due to the scrapping of POTA by the UPA government.

Mr Singh said the previous NDA government introduced POTA to curb terrorism in the country.

He alleged that the present UPA government was ''acting soft'' on terrorists and urged the Manmohan Singh government to take stringent action.
