BJP plans mega stir in April to expose govt

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday decided to launch a nationwide mass movement (jansangharsh) on its foundation day (April 6 to June 15) against the government's failure on corruption, inflation and black money fronts.

Announcing this after a day- long meeting of the national office- bearers with the state presidents and general secretaries, BJP President Nitin Gadkari told a Press conference here that the stir will cover all 600 districts of the country and the party leaders will also travel to maximum villages to create an awareness on the issues involved.

There shall also be a marathon race in every important city to involve the people in this movement, he said while appealing them to join the mass movement. The party will also organise plays, street corner meetings and use SMS and emails to involve people in the movement, Gadkari said.

He added that the party will expose the Prime Minister for his hand in every wrong involving the Centre, be it the appointment of the Central Vigilance Commissioner that has been struck down by the Supreme Court, the Commonwealth Games scam, the 2G spectrum allocation.

There is a total system of the system under the UPA regime and that will be highlighted during the movement and that will also include a direct attack on the Prime Minister, Gadkari said. Asked why the BJP is shying away from demanding his resignation, the BJP president quipped that in democracy any sensitive person would have resigned on his own, but now the party will take the PM and his government to the people's court through the mass movement.
