BJP would corner the government over the VVIP chopper

deal issue during the coming session of Parliament, Naidu said. Replying to a query on the VVIP chopper deal, Naidu said: "That's why these Italian connections have to be probed. Natural doubts are arising in the minds of the people. I do not want to name any individuals without having direct proof. "But, my point is why the government kept quiet from 2011 to now, after Prakash Javadekar raised the issue in Parliament and also wrote a letter to Defence Minister. The minister told that they will conduct an inquiry. Two years have passed and the government did not act. Why? Who compelled the government not to act? "That's why suspicion is there on the government. Let there be an impartial inquiry. Let the truth come out. I am not naming anybody," Naidu said. All aspects of the deal, like who signed the contract, who were the middlemen and what were their connections, need to be looked into, he said. Reiterating BJP's serious objection to Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's reported allegation against BJP vis-a-vis terror, he said his party would not attend any meetings convened by him unless he apologises or withdraws his remarks. BJP would also highlight price rise, farmers's suicides, the issue of separatist leader Yasin Malik sharing dais with a terrorist mastermind in Pakistan, the alleged loan waiver scam among others, he said. To another query on firing by Pakistani troops along the border, he alleged that the government's response on terror aided by Pakistan has been weak and that tough measures are needed to be taken against the neighbouring country.
