"The UPA government has no solution left to control rising inflation. It has ran out of ideas," party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad said, adding that, "it is a tottering government headed by a sulking Prime Minister".
Prasad alleged that the "UPA calls RBI Governor to hike inflation rate and makes a mandate to 10 Janpath. But what is more shocking is the cruel indifference of the government."
He said that the people had seen through the Congress-led coalition, and called it as "a negative, indifferent government which has failed on all fronts."
On the UPA-Left impasse over the Indo-US nuclear deal, Prasad said, "the terms of divorce are being finalised and the amount of maintenance to be given to the Left is being discussed".
