New Delhi: In a sharp reaction to Congress president Sonia Gandhi's charges against it, BJP on Sunday said the ruling party was suffering from a "siege mentality" and hence using "abusive" language against the opposition to deflect attention from its failures.

"The Congress Party is suffering from a mentality of a party under siege. Sonia Gandhi's speech sounds like the reaction of a party under siege. Instead of answering calls from the people on core issues, we see her replicating the Congress conduct when they were under attack for the Bofors scandal," BJP president Nitin Gadkari said in a statement.

The principal opposition alleged that Congress had indulged in "pretended aggression" to deflect attention from its failures in checking corruption, non-performance of the government by UPA-II, "alienation" of the Congress from the people and "mistrust" among its allies.

"By using abusive language, Gandhi has attempted to deflect attention from failures of UPA-II. We shall definitely raise these questions on the public fora and make sure the Congress will answer," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.

BJP also defended the stalemate in Parliament over 2-G Spectrum scam and rebutted Gandhi's charge that the BJP had resorted to political blackmail.

"Pranab Mukherjee has also chosen to say in a resolution that the principal opposition party has led the Parliament towards almost a subversion of the Constitution. These are not the ways in which the ruling party is expected to come with its answers to the people," Sitharaman said.

modern india is fed up of the ive approach. our right to know our history is ive & so empirically our emerging future resulted as discriminating & not always decerning as made out to be.medicine for the poor as well as our first class sports men are kept generation behind as if waiting for them to dope for public display & international consumption. the right to property is reduced to a vicious circle almost validating the political system of modern india established over human displacement for the last 5 generations from one state to another, yet we give more importance to monetary compensation over indispositions of the displaced .our law enforcement agencies are dependent on the remote control & in the whole process the political class behaves more predictable then ever before. yet we once again pontificate a ive discourse to the entire nation .

The seige Mentality do not include the 3M of the UPA similar to the wave of the 3Ms` changing the face of Bengal.Manmohan ,Mamata & the Merit of the interior Ministry.There is a lot of wishful provocation for including the 3M into the rest of the fulminations of the NDA in the wake of the SCAM AGE OF INDIA ,but all in vein.The briliance of few generations of lawyers & that of the lobbyist jaurnalists suported by a ``Kitsch`` show of patriotism & the investigations which till date appears ive in many ways & lot of things to hide for those who always have to , at the same time could not match the enormity of this fundamental arguement thrown by the NDA.The enormity of the scams has also thrown a question that unless this do not have a logical culmination this Hegemony will not remain ive for only the political class of India but the enormity of the scam will culminate as the ultimate weapon against the excellence & credibility for the corporate & banking comunity as well.The WIKI s` are a prelude for such a thing happening in the media & every one can see who all have to have things hidden.
