UPA-II rule: One year of disappointment, says BJP

New Delhi, May 24 (PTI) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Monday said the first year of United Progressive Alliance
(UPA)-II was a disappointment, with the country facing price
rise and witnessing "misuse" of CBI to control the
government's allies.
"The first year in power for any government is
celebrated with enthusiasm. One never thought that this would
be one of disappointment," Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha
(Upper House of Indian Parliament) Arun Jaitley said.
He alleged that while prices have come down around the
world, in India the government has failed to control them.
"There has been a rise of 17 to 19 per cent in prices of
foodgrains while foodgrains are rotting in government godowns
and being eaten by rats," Jaitley said, adding that despite
this the Prime Minister had expressed the hope that prices
would come down.
He also alleged that government had failed to control
Maoist violence.
The opposition claimed that government was "misusing" the
CBI to keep some of its allies, whose leaders are facing
disproportionate assets cases, under control.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian
Parliament) Sushma Swaraj described UPA as "Unlimited Problem
Alliance" and said the government has nothing to celebrate.
"Celebrations for what? for betraying the aam admi
(common man), or for price rise or for the 2G spectrum scam,"
she asked. PTI PKU
