Ram Setu - BJP tells UPA to drop all DMK Ministers from Center
MIL/Agencies, Sep 22, 2007.
Bhopal, September 22, 2007 – On the utterances of dirty remarks by Nadu Chief Minister K. Karunanidhi'sm ,the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded on Friday that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) should immediately drop all DMK ministers from the Central government.
BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad has told the Press today that his party has demanded from the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and also from UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi to ask Karunanidhi to apologize unconditionally, or drop all his DMK ministers from the government for the "irresponsible utterances" of the DMK leader on the existence of Lord Ram "which has injured the souls of millions of Hindus."
"A government formed on the sole basis of negative opposition can neither sustain for a full (five-year) term nor create a positive environment in the nation," said party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad, quoting party president Rajnath Singh at the party national executive meets which began here on Friday.
Rajnath, as per Prasad, BJP is the only national party at the moment which is capable of taking all dharma together in this country in a positive direction.
"The difference between the performance of Vajpayee’s government and of that of Manmohan Singh government is that the latter is running in the shadow of Sonia Gandhi, and it is a clear proof in itself that the country is drifting away from the right path, not caring for the sentiments of different religions, which are hearts and souls of this country. "
Political maturity, he said, was a must for running a coalition government and both the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and BJP displayed this quality and also shattered the myth that only the Congress was capable of providing stability. The BJP was the main party in the previous NDA coalition government, as per IANS.
"Whether it is development or stability or even controlling terrorism or inflation, the one and only alternative before the people of the country is a BJP-led NDA government," Prasad said, adding: "The country's changing political situation today offers us an opportunity to once again establish ourselves at the centre of India's politics.
