BJP will form government in Uttarakhand if Congress fails: Rajnath Singh

GHAZIABAD: In case the Congress fails to prove majority in Uttarkhand Assembly the Governor should invite the BJP to form the government, BJP leader Rajnath Singh said.

"In Uttrakhand, BJP will form the government if Congress does not prove the majority in the House and in case of failure of Congress in proving the majority the Governor should invite BJP to form the government," the former BJP president said.

It is a democratic process laid down in the Constitution, Singh, a local MP, told reporters at his residence here in Raj Nagar.

On the poor show of the party in UP Assembly polls, Singh said a committee has been set up to study the reasons of the debacle in elections and reformative steps will be taken.

He said that in Ghaziabad, anti-incumbency factor was the main reason, as in Ghaziabad and in newly-formed Panchsheel Nagar district BJP lost all the eight seats.

He said the Congress is also not in good position in states and will suffer more in future due to increasing inflation in country.

He also flayed the Union Budget and said that it is a set back for the weaker sections of the country.

"The UPA government headed by economist Prime Minister totally failed to understand the basic needs of common man," he said.

Regarding Akhilesh government in UP, Singh said that he should work for development of masses as he promised and and not for criminals.
