BJP asks party workers toget ready for elections

LOHARDAGA: State BJP president Dineshanand Goswami on Saturday asked party workers to be ready for the next parliamentary elections while terming the Congress a "jamboree" of robbers that sold both ground (coal) and sky (2G spectrum).
Addressing a district-level party workers meeting here, the BJP leader said, "It (the Congress) has brought common man to streets through its scams which are responsible for price hike in the country."
The BJP state chief said price hike had put an extra burden of Rs 1,000-2,000 on the common man.Criticizing the UPA government's decision of FDI in retail sector of Indian market and said this would increase unemployment. He asked the party men to be ready for the coming general elections to win all 14 parliamentary seats so that the party forms the next government in the state.
However, the party workers, who had pinned hopes on Goswami to get some assurance on a government pension scheme proposal for "Jharkhand Andolankaris" who had fought under by the name of "Vananchal" instead of "Jharkhand" were, disappointed.
Goswami diverted the issue by saying formation of Jharkhand was the biggest reward for those BJP men who fought for "Vananchal" (Jharkhand) and chief minister Arjun Munda has formed a commission for this issue.
He left no time in criticizing the Congress and counting failures of the UPA government. "The CAG had estimated an income of government Rs 1.86 lakh crore in coal block allotment and Rs 1.77 lakh crore in 2G spectrum if these schemes had followed the government procedure honestly. This huge amount of money could be used in infrastructure development in the backward states like Jharkhand," he said.
