Is Karat's flip-flop to facilitate nuclear deal?
New
Delhi,
Dec
15:
Taking
pot
shots
at
CPI-M
General
Secretary
Prakash
Karat
for
his
''flip-flop
on
Indo-US
nuclear
deal'',
the
BJP
today
said
the
party
was
probably
preparing
the
ground
for
accepting
the
deal
by
such
comments.
BJP spokesman Ravishankar Prasad said that the world had seen and heard Mr Karat saying that the political parties should be prepared to face Lok Sabha elections if the UPA Government were to go ahead with the talks with International Atomic Energy Agency beyond 2007. ''Now that we hear that he had denied having said this one can only deduce that the CPI-M is afraid of the BJP and the NDA staging a comeback and the recent flip flop is aimed at stalling this by prolonging the longevity of the tottering UPA government,'' he said.
He said the BJP was supremely confident that it would come back to power in Gujarat notwithstanding the vicious hate campaign of the Congress and the UPA parties against Chief Minister Narendra Modi and the party. The BJP leaders had addressed 500 public rallies touching all the 182 assembly constituencies.
The party was focussing only on development and terrorism but the Congress and the UPA parties had made it vicious by raising the unwarranted 'merchant of death' controversy, he said.
