Chennai, June 07: BJP today described the President's address to the joint sitting of Parliament as "insipid, uninspiring and disappointing" as it lacked clarity.
BJP President M Venkaiah Naidu told a press meet in Chennai that the address had revealed the wrong approach of the UPA government to several crucial issues.
He also maintained that the government had completely failed to place before the nation any concrete programmes, a specific timetable and its target for the year.
Naidu charged the new government with "misusing" the President's address for "spreading falsehood" on the nature and essence of the people's verdict in the recent polls.
He said the mention to fight corruption in the address, sounded "hollow and hypocritical" with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accommodating "tainted persons" in his cabinet.
"We will continue to expose the new government on this issue," he added.
However, the party would not indulge in disrupting the proceedings of Parliament as Congress and Left parties did during the last 22 months by boycotting the then Defence Minister George Fernandes.
Terming the address as one containing a "jumble of grandiose policies and schemes," Naidu said it did not contain even a hint of the strategy for resource mobilisation.
"Without resources, where is the source of credibility for the goody-goody promises made by government?," he asked.
He said there was already a tug of war between the constituents of UPA and left parties. While the Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel announced private sector participation in the development of Mumbai and Delhi airports, left parties opposed it and even staged a dharna in Delhi, he said.
