New Delhi - Former BJP president L.K. Advani said Thursday that while people were angry with the UPA government, they were upset with the Bharatiya Janata Party too.
Asking the BJP to introspect, Advani posted on his blog: "I had said at the Core Group meeting that if people are today angry with the UPA government, they are also disappointed with us. The situation, I said, calls for introspection."
Advani noted that the mood within the party these days was not upbeat.
He said the fact that BJP governed many states and the "excellent" leadership provided in parliament by Susham Swaraj and Arun Jaitley "is no compensation for the lapses committed".
Advani said that when journalists attack the UPA for a string of scams, they also regret that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is not rising to the occasion.
“I, as a former pressman, feel they are reflecting public opinion correctly,†he said.
“The results in Uttar Pradesh, the manner in which the party welcomed BSP ministers who were removed by Mayawatiji on charges of corruption, the party’s handling of Jharkhand and Karnataka - all these events have undermined the party’s campaign against corruption,†he added.
