NELLORE: BJP national leader, M Venkaiah Naidu demanded UPA government to spell out its stance in bringing back to India, billions of black money stashed away in foreign banks.Addressing participants of one-day political seminar for mandal cadre in district, which he inaugurated, here on Thursday, he stated that CBI director, AP Singh had revealed that $500 billion worth of illegal money was deposited in banks abroad, but union government is yet to make its stance clear on what it is going to do about it.He wondered why UPA chairperson, Sonia Gandhi and PM, Manmohan Singh were hesitating in taking a decision in that direction. “Are they worried about collapse of government, if names of persons who stashed away monies in foreign banks, were made public”, he questioned.The BJP leader stated that in spite of having eminent economists like Montek Singh Ahuwalia, Chidambaram, Manmohan Singh, UPA government had let the Indian economy dwindle and growth rates in every sector had decreased. He said that inflation is rising in the country and commercial sector was facing the brunt of it.The agriculture sector too was effected, with lack of proper support and encouragement from government, with 42 percent of farmers having given up farming. This would only result in food crisis very soon, Naidu asserted.Criticising dynastic politics in Congress party and UPA government, he said that names of Nehru, Gandhi were being used for self growth rather than ensuring that programmes taken up in their names were implemented in spirit and action.“Though NDA was a coalition of 26 parties, its rule was stable and there was no law and order or any other such problem in the country. But the UPA, especially UPA-II, which hardly has four active partners is allowing anarchy to prevail in the country. The latest terrorist attack on Israeli diplomat and a few Indian citizens near Prime Minister’s residence in Delhi is a clear indication as to clear failure of security apparatus,” he said and added that conditions in the state too are similar.Venkaiah said that citizens across the country were looking at BJP as the only alternative to UPA, hence it was high time for cadre to improve human relations and contacts with masses at grass-root level. BJP leaders, G Bhanuprakash Reddy, Rama Rao, K Anjaneya Reddy and others were present.
