Borrowing heavily from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on his 112th birth anniversary, NDA prime ministerial shadow, LK Advani on Friday urged voters to relent with ‘samarthan’ (support) for his campaign in lieu of the for ‘sushasan’ (good governance) his party could provide.
With elections looming large, Advani rephrased Netaji’s call “Tum mujhe khoon do; main tumhe aazadi doonga” into a more contextually appropriate “Tum humein samarthan do; hum tumhe sushashan denge” (give us your support; we promise you good governance).
He was speaking at function organized by the FICCI to mark the freedom fighter’s 112th birth anniversary.
Providing a sneak preview of campaign rhetoric Advani said his party would inform masses that self-governance had not been transformed into good governance and the country’s poor showing on the United Nations Human Development Index, that identifies as India as the venue of the highest number of malnutrition-related deaths, and the high suicide rate amongst farmers.
Citing the absence of good governance as the cause behind the country’s problems, Advani attacked the Congress for passing on thorny issues to future generations, he said Netaji would have been appalled by the prevailing scenario in the country.
The stalwart known for his high pitched oratory took the Congress to task for complicating the border disputes with Pakistan and China knottier and inspiring the demographic invasion from Bangladesh into Assam and other parts to promote its own cause.
He said vote bank considerations marred the Congress approach on cross-border terrorism from Pakistan and added that “partial corrective measures” in the wake of the Mumbai terror strikes were brought forth by compulsions and not conviction.
He described the audacious attack on the country’s commercial capital as “a monumental failure of governance by the Congress-led governments in New Delhi and Mumbai” while adding the “Congress has a lot to answer for.”
He said the present Congress-led alliance was “the worst of all Congress regimes, most corrupt, most inept, and most unfaithful to the great heroes of our freedom struggle.”
Referring to the Satyam scam, Advani called for a judicial probe into the fraud and termed it an incident damaging the image of the country.
He claimed that the BJP-ruled States were better governed than the Congress-ruled States and added that at the end of the present UPA terms he had no qualms in terming the earlier NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee as “far superior” compared to the present ruling coalition under Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi.
