In a rare admission, BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu today said no party will be able to form a government on its own at the Centre.
The saffron leader, however, said a BJP-led coalition would form a government after the ongoing elections.
Referring to the "disintegration" of Congress-led UPA he told a press conference, "No single party will form a government on its own. But, a new coalition headed by BJP will emerge after the Lok Sabha polls this time."
"It was the NDA government in which all of its 23-allies were intact. In the Manmohan government, a number of partners including MDMK, PMK, TRS, Left, RJD, BSP, SP and NCP bid "good bye" to the Congress," the party election incharge in the state said.
"Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi do not know how to run a government as its coalition partners left UPA one after another... UPA lost credibility and public trust," Naidu alleged.
Dubbing CBI as the "Congress Bureau of Investigation," Naidu said, "Congress' symbol hand is not with common man but with corruption"
Congress made it a habit of referring all cases to CBI because it dictated its terms to give clean cheat to many" he said apparently referring to CBI taking off Bofors accused Ottavio Quattrocchi from the most wanted list.
