UPA's report card is a non report card: BJP

New Delhi: BJP termed the UPA’s report card as a “non-report card” that hid all the scams and revealed only what was convenient to the ruling dispensation. The Opposition party also lashed out at the UPA for “blaming it for its own failures”. “The UPA’s report card is a non report card. It hides all the scams and reveals only the convenient. More importantly, Congress is now blaming BJP for its own failures,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.

UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today came down heavily on BJP for disrupting Parliament proceedings and preventing crucial legislations from being passed. “I cannot hide my deep sense of disappointment over the manner in which Parliamentary proceedings have been disrupted by the principal Opposition party,” Gandhi said at a function to mark four years of UPA-II rule. “We are disappointed that we have not been able to get crucial legislations enacted entirely because of this obstructionist approach (of BJP),” she said. Gandhi also made a “fervent plea” to the NDA and other Opposition parties to come together and clear the passage of the Food Security and the Land Acquisition bills, saying these were “non-partisan” issues affecting the lives of millions of people.
