Elections will expose NDA Govt., says Congress

Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI MAY 12. While the outcome of the current Assembly elections still hangs in balance, the Congress has begun to mount pressure on the Government. The senior Congress leader and CWC member, Mr. Arjun Singh, has predicted the unravelling of the Vajpayee-led NDA Government. ``These elections will mark the beginning of the countdown of the NDA,'' he told The Hindu.

Mr. Singh who returned to the Capital after a hectic round of electioneering said that one fallout of the current elections would be that the teflon image of the Prime minister and his claim to probity will be severely dented. ``He will now have to look for scapegoats everyday,'' said Mr. Singh.

According to Mr. Arjun Singh the election ``will be a significant pointer to the wide trust and acceptability that Ms. Sonia Gandhi is acquiring''. This would help the party immensely in consolidating itself, he said.

He said the results of the current elections will show that the determined effort made by the Congress to expose the Vajpayee Government has found favor with the people.
