BJP predicts hung Assembly

Special Correspondent

VISAKHAPATNAM: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) official spokesman and MP Prakash Javdekar and on Wednesday predicted that there would be a hung Assembly in Andhra Pradesh and the BJP would get enough seats to hold the key to power.

Talking to media persons here, he said that the party was approaching the elections at the State as well as at national level with confidence and was sure that people would dethrone United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and bring back National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to power. “Even at the State level, we are fielding candidates for 240 Assembly and 38 Lok Sabha seats giving adequate representation to backward classes. At the local level, we are in Vizag with confidence because the city is fed up with visiting MPs. They don’t want guest appearance of MPs any more,” he stated. Referring to the Congress, he said that that party had again sent a guest actor. It was ridiculous that somebody (Congress candidate Purandareswari) was using the name of N.T. Rama Rao who had all his life fought against the Congress.

Swiss accounts

Mr. Javdekar also said that the Prime Ministerial candidate L.K. Advani had promised that once the NDA came to power, it would request the Swiss authorities and bring back all the millions of crores of rupees of industrialists and politicians stashed in Swiss banks. BJP leaders P.V. Chalapathi Rao, D.V. Subba Rao, and others were present.
