BJP leader LK Advani on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the Lokpal fiasco in Rajya Sabha, alleging that he had chosen "conspiratorial silence and acquiescence" while the government ran away from a vote on the Bill. In a statement issued today, Advani said, "For the
UPA government, 2011 was annus horribilis (horrible year). The Congress-led government found itself in the quagmire of one corruption scandal after another, each of which robbed it of its legitimacy to rule." He insisted that the credibility of the government and its leadership "nosedived in direct proportion to the scale of the scandals" and the Prime Minister as well as Congress President Sonia Gandhi were engaged in "desperate acts of scapegoating" trying to ensure that bigger heads did not roll.
Advani also held Singh responsible to a great extent for the inconclusive Rajya Sabha debate on Lokpal Bill and the adjournment amid uproar.
"It (UPA government) exhibited arrogance, ineptitude and deceit in equal measure in dealing with the demand for a strong, independent and effective Lokpal. I, for one, am not in the least bit surprised that Year 2011 ended with the UPA government literally fleeing from vote in the Rajya Sabha on its own version of the Lok Sabha bill," he said.
The BJP leader charged that he had never seen a government invite such ignominy upon itself because of the "virtual evaporation of responsibility" on the part of the Prime Minister. He maintained that Singh had chosen "conspiratorial silence and acquiescence" when India expected "honest, transparent leadership" from him.
Though Advani did not specify clearly if his party was hopeful of mid-term polls, he stated that 2012 is undoubtedly "pregnant with the certainty of big changes in national politics" especially with Singh rendered a "lame duck Prime Minister".
"The fraud on democracy, which the nation witnessed on the night of December 29, was unprecedented," he said.
The BJP leader described the UPA government as the the most corrupt government in the history of independent India.
"The UPA government's 'Fleedom at Midnight' in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, as my colleague Jaitley has memorably described, has rendered Dr. Manmohan Singh a lame duck Prime Minister. The initiative to define the course of politics in the New Year has clearly shifted to the BJP and the NDA," Advani said.
He admitted that though BJP and NDA governments in the states were doing well and committed to good governance, there have been problems and disappointments. "We must correct these resolutely in 2012," he said.
Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and Uttarakhand CM Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank were asked to quit by the BJP this year after a slew of corruption cases in their governments.
The NDA Working Chairperson also showered fulsome praise on his juniors, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj, her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley and party president Nitin Gadkari.
"2011 saw the BJP's, and NDA's, parliamentary work rise to the people's expectations from an effective opposition alliance determined to challenge a scam-ridden and anti-poor government," Advani said.

    Advani said, "For the BJP government, 2011 was annus horribilis (horrible
    year). The BJP and BJP-led state governments found themselves in the quagmire of one
    corruption scandal after another, each of which robbed it of its
    legitimacy to rule."

    Further, he added in a genuine shame and remorse that in Karnataka and Gujarat, not to forget the Uttarkhand, BJP's moral "high grounds" became a joke of this year of the Lord, 2011.

    "Scandas broke, practically on every front. Narendra Modi was caught in a vice and squeezed dry by the Supreme Court ordered "SIT." His so called "Sadbhavana," three day (token) fast with glamor and glitter of a superstar, (which he is not qualified for) became a charade."

    "In Karnataka, in three (long) years the chief minister, B S Yeddyurappa, went three hundred times into coma and had to be rescued by the veteran leaders of BJP, including but not limited to, L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Nitin Gadkari, all Saffron Sadhus, Sanyasis, Mutt Adhikaris, local hoodlums, racketeers and (illegal) financiers, Oops, mining tycoons, Oops, goons, Oops, saffron monkeys."

    My so called 4th and the biggest Rath Yatra to ward of the evil of (Congress) corruption got stuck in the mud, in various (Hindutva) slums. I tried to avoid some towns, areas in order to save my life from angry mob, say in Bangalore. In Bangalore, the local BJP workers, ministers and organizers boycotted me. I was crying all day and all night.

    Luckily, media did not cover such shameful journey into Hindutva Utopia, where all crimes are committed by (Secular) Congress and their (Muslim) vote banks.

    May Allah be praised, (PBUH).

    THE  COUNTRY IS  POLITICALLY DIVIDED  BETWEEN  THE  POLITICIANS  ON  ONE SIDE &  THE  PEOPLE  ON  THE  OTHER.  THE  POLITICIANS  HAVE  PASSED  THE  LAWS  AT  THEIR  PLEASURE  WHICH  SUITED  THEM  TO  LOOT  THE  COFFERS.  BUT  WHEN  IT  CAME  TO  PROVIDE  PROTECTION  TO  THE  PEOPLE,  THE  POLITICIANS  HAVE  PERFORMED  A  CIRCUS  TO ENTERTAIN  THEM  WITHOUT  DELIVERING  ANYTHING.
    THE  POLITICIANS  HAVE  MADE   POLITICS  A  PROFESSION;   SINCE  THEY  KNOW   THAT  THEY  DELIVER  OR  NOT;  THEY  CAN  BUY  VOTES  TO  MAKE  THROUGH  IN  THE  ELECTIONS.    THE  PEOPLE   SHOULD  NOW  TEACH  THEM  A  LESSON.

    Honestly BJP is lucky that Anna and his team never had any complain against them. BJP's so much support against corruption is only to open another Ram Rajya that  we had lost. All black money were brought back during Advani and NDA's rule of India .After that all know that UPA had sent back all those black money. Bhushan was once their Law Minister and he had established fine rules too.
    A very happy AKK year (Anna-Kejriwal-Kiran) of the modern India . A possible Advani-Gadkari-Swaraj rule of future . Best wishes to our readers.

    It is quite surprising how a defeated soldier, BJP's  leader LK Advani is blaming the PM Dr Manmohan Singh and the ruling UPA government for scams and scandals, forgetting his own BJP's six year rule when the scams, scandals and misgovernance were galore. LK Advani was then the Home Minister cum Dy PM of BJP govt. First time in history, our parliament House was attacked then by Pakistani terrorists, when the parliament was in session. IC-814 was hijacked and taken to Kandhar, Afghanistan. Three Pakistani hard core terrorists were released from Jammu Jail in exchange for the hijacked passengers. The released terrorists were escorted to Kandhar  by a minister in BJP govt. When the then PM, AB Vajpayee had gone by a bus to Lahore, Pakistan on a goodwill mission, same time Pak army chief Gen Pervez Musharraf was personally supervising deployment of Pak troops, having intruded into Kargil heights,  Ladakh, deep inside Indian territory, across the LOC, J&K. It was the brave Indian army who had finally regained the entire Kargil area by inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. Regarding the economic state then,  govt gold reserves were mortaged to the Bank of England to tide over the finanical crisis then.Therefore, LK Advani's crfiticism of PM and UPA govt is baseless.

    BRING RASHTRA DHARM PAL BILL

    We demand to bring Rashtra Dharm Pal Bill before Lok Pal Bill to review all religious scriptures which are anti Constitution spirit of humanity, fraternity, equality, truth ,peace and progress of Indian people  and nation. The untruthful scriptures are main cause of corruption in society. Merely creating agencies to find out corruption, punishment will not help nation to progress. One one hand , if we allow wrong and false religious scriptures to continue which gives education of inequality, inhumanity, varnawad, castism, untouchability etc what is the use of merely bringing Lok Pal Bill?
