Sops offshoot of buoyant economy, says Naqvi

HYDERABAD, JAN. 10. The Bharatiya Janata Party has said the sops announced by the Centre are an offshoot of buoyant and strong economy of the country.

Simultaneously the `feel-good factor' of the BJP has strengthened and the party decided to reach out to the last individual and household, its general secretary and spokesman, Muqtar Abbas Naqvi, has said. Speaking to newsmen here on Saturday, Mr. Naqvi said the feel-good factor of any Government would get reflected in the economic development in the country. The earlier Governments had cast financial burden on the public before the budget was taken but here was a case of relief which explained how the feel-good factor was working in favour of the present dispensation.

The reliefs were another step towards overall development of the country. The national executive of the party, which is meeting here on Sunday and Monday, would discuss the issue during the session on economy. He lashed out at the Congress for painting a `feel-bad factor' of the BJP. The party was actually facing `feel depression' factor which would be exposed by the BJP executive. Mr. Naqvi said the executive would discuss preparing a blueprint for the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Asked whether an early poll would be discussed, he evaded a direct reply but said there was only a `technical suspense' on the issue. He said the action plan for the elections would dominate the proceedings. A decision would, however, be taken in the political resolution to be adopted on Monday. This resolution would also incorporate India's stand at the recent South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation summit at Islamabad.
