New Delhi:
As UPA 2 completes three years in office, BJP claimed the government may fall anytime as coalition partners were unhappy and were not even ready to break bread together. While referring to Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee's refusal to attend the dinner hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight, BJP said the three years of UPA regime would be written in "black letters."
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi have decided to skip the dinner at Prime minister's residence tonight to celebrate three years in office of its second term.
"Its allies are not happy with it. A leader of the ally party does not even want to eat food together. You can imagine the state of affairs... The UPA is not even in a position of eating snacks," said BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain.
"I wonder what would be the flavour of the dinner hosted to celebrate the three years of completion of government," he said, after BJP's Parliamentary Party meeting in Delhi. He said, "The completion of three years of UPA regime will be written in black letters."
Mr Hussain said, "This government can anytime...(fall). The government claims to have a total majority of 272, but the actual figure seems 227 as even its allies are not happy with it."
The party also discussed the "failures" of the present regime, he said. Party leader LK Advani lauded the MPs for their good performance during the Budget Session of Parliament, he said.
"The party has been able to put the government on the backfoot on many occasions during the current session," said Mr Hussain.
