| Centre has failed to tackle naxalite problem: BJP | |
| Press Trust of India / Ranchi July 4, 2009, 17:02 IST | |
The BJP today alleged that the Centre had failed to solve the naxalite problem, and said it should be tackled administratively and politically.
"The Centre has not been able to take effective steps in solving the naxal problem. Apart from administrative steps naxalism should also be tackled politically," BJP's National President Rajnath Singh told a press conference in Ranchi.
Being the principal opposition party, the BJP would support the government in tackling naxalism, Singh who was here to address the party's state unit executive committee meeting, said.
On the submission of the Liberhan Committee report to the Centre, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said it would not be proper to comment as details were not known.
Asked whether the party had accepted its rejection by the people after the Lok Sabha polls, Singh pointed out that the Congress had got only 114 seats in 1998.
Speaking about Jharkhand, where two days ago the Centre extended President's Rule beyond July 28, Singh alleged that Congress alone was responsible for the political instability in the state and demanded dissolution of the assembly and a fresh mandate.
There was also no fissure in the state party, he added.
