Centre in Mulayam's clutches: Joshi

Kollam, Kerala, Aug 10 (UNI) Senior BJP Leader Murli Manohar Joshi today alleged the UPA Government at the Centre was in the clutches of Samajwadi Party Leader Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Talking to newspersons after inaugurating 'Gurudakshshina,' a programme organised by the BJP here, he said terrorist groups were spreading their activities to villages across India.

Alleging that the UPA Government had failed to curb terrorist activities in the country due to political pressure, he charged it had surrendered to communal forces and terrorists in Amarnath land transfer issue.

Dr Joshi said the BJP would organise protest marches to Raj Bhavans in all states in the second week of August. The march would be held in Kerala tomorrow, he added.

Maintaining that 'Third Front' was not a threat to the BJP, he claimed next elections would be fought between the UPA and the NDA.

Dr Joshi expressed confidence that the NDA would form the next government at the Centre.
