Patna (PTI): Claiming that the Congress-led UPA has disintegrated, the BJP, spearheading the NDA's bid for power in the coming Lok Sabha elections, on Wednesday said the political landscape in the country had undergone a vast change in its favour over the past ten days.

"The UPA is divided and there is no possibility of any accretion in the favour of the Congress in the LS polls, while our chances (of forming the government) have vastly improved over the last ten days," BJP spokesman Ravishanker Prasad told a press conference.

He said that the "so-called secular space has shrunk" with RJD, LJP, Samajwadi Party and PMK parting ways with the Congress and claimed that even parties like Sharad Pawar's NCP and Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress could not be trusted to back the Congress in difficult situations.

"Both Pawar and Banerjee are in UPA but whether they will remain true allies is doubtful. Pawar's prime ministerial ambition is well known and what will Mamata do if Congress wants to forge a post-poll tie-up with the Left can be anybody's guess," the BJP spokesman said.

He said despite the very low inflation rate, its positive effects were not reflected in the prices of edible commodities which continue to be on the higher side.
