Jaipur, Oct 20: The Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha today said it would make the foreign origin of Congress president Sonia Gandhi an issue in the coming assembly polls in five states to "save the nation from 'Italian raj".
"BJYM will ask the BJP high command to include this issue in the poll manifesto so that when required the constitution can be amended (to bar persons of foreign origin from occupying high offices in the country)" its president G Kishan Reddy told reporters here.
Referring to Gandhi's remark that BJP was afraid of her, he said, "People of the this country are afraid of Italian raj, but the BJYM will not let any foreigner to sit on the Prime Minister's chair." "It is not a matter of power, but it is the feeling of every citizen who want to live with self-respect and courage that he/she should have any Indian in the Prime Minister's chair," he said.
Reddy, who was here to attend the state BJYM meeting, said the organisation would seek maximum tickets to younger generation in the assembly polls in the state.
"We will focus on the failures of the Gehlot government and success of the Vajpayee-led NDA government at the Centre," he said. He hoped that the BJP would form the next governments in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Delhi and make its presence felt in Mizoram.
