The BJP today alleged that the UPA government not only indulged in rampant corruption but was also desperately trying to cover up its "misdeeds".
"The Congress-led UPA government is trying to subvert and undermine the authority of the three pillars of democracy--the executive, the legislature and judiciary," BJP's national spokesman Sudhanshu Trivedi, who was on a state visit, told reporters here.
Trivedi said that the confidence of people in the entire establishment of the state has been severely damaged during the UPA government rule and cannot be restored by mere resignation of two central ministers.
"It is unfortunate and painful that instead of introspection, senior leaders of the ruling party are making objectionable remarks about the apex court and are not sparing even the highest and one of the most respected institutions of the land," he said.
"How can a healthy democracy survive when the ruling party at the Centre was trying to subvert and undermine all democratic institutions, that too with the alleged involvement of Prime Minister's Office," Trivedi said.
The BJP leader said the UPA government has lost all the authority to be in power in the country.
Trivedi would hold a meeting with state party leaders and discuss strategy to be adopted for the coming elections in 2012.
State party president G Kishan Reddy was also present at the press conference.
