Congress attacks BJP for repeated U-turns

The Congress Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of making repeated U-turns during the six months it has been in power.

Congress general secretary Ajay Maken released a booklet listing 25 U-turns that the party said the government had made vis-a-vis the stand the BJP took when it was in the opposition.

"This government has made 25 U-turns in the last around 180 days. That's an average of one U-turn every seven to eight days," Maken said.

He said the issues on which the government changed its stance included black money and the Bangladesh land deal.

"While the booklet was being printed, the government made three more U-turns which have not been included," Maken added.

Maken said the BJP had fooled the people with the sole intention of coming to power.

"They only wanted to seize power even if it meant fooling the voters. They have misled the people of this nation. This government will be known as the U-turn government," he said.
