Vote for BJP for good govt: Advani to Bengal

Falakata: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Thursday said if the people of West Bengal want a good government then they should vote for BJP candidates in the coming state Assembly election.

"The Bharatiya Janata Party is the only party which can promise a good government in the state if elected to power," the former Deputy Prime Minister said while addressing a public meeting here in support of the party candidate.

"The Left Front government has not done anything in the state during its 34-years rule. The condition of roads, health services, education, drinking water and everything in the state is in bad shape in the state," Advani alleged.

"The UPA government in the Centre has become synonymous with scams --starting with the 2G, CWG, Adarsh and other scams. The prices of essential commodities have raised a lot during the rule of the UPA government but the government has failed to take any steps to bring down the prices," the veteran BJP leader said.

It is only the BJP which can give good governance as even Anna Hazare has praised the rural works done by the BJP government led by Narendra Modi in Gujarat and the NDA government led by Nitish Kumar in Bihar, he claimed.

Advani addressed the election meeting of BJP candidate for Falakata in Jalpaiguri district which will go to the polls on April 18 during the first phase of the six-phase West Bengal Assembly election.
