FORMER BJP national president Murli Manohar Joshi said that in the forthcoming UP assembly election, BJP would gain absolute majority. The presence of BSP would be more beneficial for BJP, he added.
He termed the BSP chief Mayawati’s remark a political gimmick. He denied that the BSP supported the BJP candidates in the civic election. Joshi was here to participate in the concluding session of two-day seminar on ‘Hindutva and Nationalism’ to mark the birth anniversary of Guru Golwarker at DDU Gorakhpur university.
Talking to media persons, Joshi said BJP had planned to launch a movement against the Congress-led Union government. He indicated that winter session of Parliament scheduled from November 22 would be a stormy affair, as BJP would corner Manmohan Singh- led government on various issues.
Severely criticising the formation of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) he said in a bid to provide benefits to the industrialist and corporate sector, the government was acquiring agricultural land and distributing it among corporate sector on cheap rates. He clarified that BJP was not against constituting SEZ but the interest of the small and marginal farmers should not be ignored.
He condemned Union government for giving entry to multinational companies in retail business and said after agriculture; retailing is the largest sector, that provided maximum job to the youths.
‘BJP has constituted a committee to review the impact of formation of SEZ and would try to safeguard the interest of small and cottage industries’, Joshi added He said BJP MPs would raise these issues in the winter session of Parliament.
Expressing his concern over the adamant attitude of Democratic party in American Congress, he said the stand of Democrats on Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal was inflexible and stressed that prime minister should convened all party meeting to review the deal and to clarify the stand of nation to the US President George Bush that India was not ready to accept any change in the agreement. Joshi said any change in the agreement would restrict Indian scientists. They would be restricted to continue the atomic research and any atomic test in the country. He reiterated that BJP had alarmed the government on this issue.
