Making a point: Bharatiya Janata Party leader L. K. Advani in Jaipur. JAIPUR: Bharatiya Janata Party leader L. K. Advani has accused the United Progressive Alliance Government at the Centre of breaking all records of price rise, suicides by farmers and terrorist attacks during its five-year tenure and making the life of ordinary people miserable by its “misrule, corrupt governance and inefficient administration”. Addressing an election rally at Ramleela Grounds here on Monday night, Mr. Advani said the UPA Government did not have anything to its credit and should be voted out of power to “save the country from further downslide”. “As an active politician, I have witnessed the functioning of all Prime Ministers since the first Lok Sabha elections of 1952. Each of them could list some achievements after five years. Can Manmohan Singh spell out a single achievement at the end of his regime?” asked Mr. Advani. The BJP’s prime ministerial candidate said Dr. Singh did not have independent powers and had to “rush to 10 Janpath before taking any significant decision”. He said nothing worthwhile could be expected from such a man and such a government. Mr. Advani said the cash-for-vote scandal last year was a “shameful episode” of the UPA regime and depicted the high levels of corruption for which the Congress and UPA “must be punished at once”. “Anti-people policies”Taking a dig at the UPA Government for its “anti-people policies”, Mr. Advani said the large number of cases of suicides by farmers had only been reported from the Congress-ruled States such as Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. “No suicide took place in Gujarat, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand ruled by the BJP,” he added. Calling upon the people to vote for the BJP, Mr. Advani said his party would bring back the respect and admiration to India in the comity of nations and take the country to the road to prosperity and economic growth. BJP leader in charge of Rajasthan Gopinath Munde, national treasurer Ramdas Agrawal, State unit president Om Prakash Mathur and the party’s candidate from Jaipur, Ghanshyam Tiwari, also addressed the rally , which was the last on Mr. Advani’s itinerary in the State.
