Vajpayee appeals for votes in Maharashtra, Haryana

BJP on Wednesday issued an appeal from ailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee to the voters of Maharashtra and Haryana to vote for the party.

New Delhi: Hoping to sway the electorate with
the charisma of former Prime Minister and senior party
leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee, BJP on Wednesday issued an appeal from
the ailing leader to the voters of Maharashtra and Haryana to
vote for the party.

In the statement, Vajpayee expressed regret that he cannot
campaign due to ill-health.

He had issued similar appeals to voters during the Lok
Sabha and earlier assembly elections.

"Unfortunately, in the last ten years, life is unsafe in
Maharashtra. Law and order is in disarray. There is all-round
corruption. Farmers are committing suicide. Back-breaking
price rise has affected the common man. Unemployment is
increasing. The Congress-led government has been unsuccessful
in dealing with crisis in water, power, drought and floods,"
he said in his appeal.

Vajpayee urged the voters to back the BJP-Shiv Sena
alliance, which has ruled Maharashtra in the past.

He also asked Haryana voters to support BJP in the polls
for all-round development of the state.

"The other political parties in the fray in Haryana have
no vision or any concrete plans. As such, BJP is the only
alternative as it has the determination to ensure safety and
prosperity of the people," he said.
