Jaitley: UPA Govt unnatural

BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley on Sunday said the polls in the state would “blow the myth of dynasty”.

BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley on Sunday said the polls in the state would “blow the myth of dynasty”. According to him, the Congress has now been reduced to a position where its political ambition is about being a “miserable fourth or a poor fourth” after the BSP, BJP and the SP. Jaitley was in the city to campaign for his party where polls will be held on May 3. He said the downturn of the Congress stemmed from the fact that the government had an “unnatural character” and was headed by a PM who had no political impact. “This position cannot continue indefinitely,” said the BJP leader as he anticipated cracks in the UPA alliance after the end of the UP polls.
