Bangalore: The BJP on Saturday blamed the Centre for the serial blasts in Delhi saying that it failed to act despite Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi warning of such a possibility.
Addressing the party's Vijay Sankalp rally which marked the beginning of its campaign ahead of a series of elections in the country, senior party leader L K Advani said” "Modi had told the Prime Minister, Home Minister, National Security Advisor about the conspiracy of the terrorists which was revealed during interrogation by Gujarat Police conducted on the Ahmbedabad blast accused."
"It was not just an apprehension. Government cannot say it is an intelligence failure. One of our Chief Ministers said it was going to happen in the country's capital," he said.
Modi had told the Prime Minister about ten days back that during the course of investigation police found that the Ahmedabad blast accused had a hand in other blasts and the terrorists also had a conspiracy of conducting serial blasts in Delhi.
The rally saw party president Rajnath Singh and Advani attacking the Congress for being soft on terror and failing on all fronts.
The BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate singled out PM Manmohan Singh for the Delhi blasts and said it is "a worthless government".
Describing the blasts as a "cowardly act", senior BJP leader V K Malhotra said "it is like a war has been waged against the country. There were many warnings but the government ignored them. POTA should be immediately revived to tackle the situation".
