Kochi: Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily
on Sunday said the BJP was passing through the weakest period in
its history with a "very sharp and steep decline" all over the
country.
"There is a very sharp and steep decline for BJP all
over the country. The national leadership has become weak and
even their state units are really crumbling," he told
reporters here.
"I think BJP is now undergoing the weakest period ever
possible in its history," he said.
Asked whether the rebellion-hit BJP Government in
Karnataka would complete its term, Moily, a former Chief
Minister of that state, quipped: "I don't know whether they
will complete their term. There is no government as such.
There is anarchy within the Cabinet".
"It's a shame for the south India to have such a
government in Karnataka," he said.
Referring to the victory of Congress in all the three
assembly segments in the recent by-elections in Kerala, he
said the party was on the upswing and credited it to Congress
President Sonia Gandhi, saying she "has done a wonderful job
in reorganising the party."
On former KPCC president K Muraleedharan's re-entry
into Congress, Moily said he cannot comment as he was no
longer incharge of party affairs in Kerala.
