Serial blasts a conspiracy, blames BJP

Linking the trust vote and serial bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad that killed over 50 people, the BJP on Monday alleged that the explosions were part of a conspiracy to divert attention of the public from the cash-for-vote scam. The party, however, refused to name anyone, when asked whether the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre has any role behind the blasts.

‘‘The blasts are a conspiracy to divert attention from the cash-for-votes scandal. The incidents took place just a few days after the government won the trust vote in a shameful manner, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj told a press conference on Monday. She said the blasts took place in the BJP-ruled states and said it makes one to believe that there is something more than meets the eyes.

The BJP’s surprise move is seen as a tactic to corner the UPA, especially the Union home ministry, in curbing the ‘‘terrorist activities’’ within the country. The party has been demanding re-implementation of the POTA for effectively tackling the issue.

WEPEOPLE KNOW WHO ARE BEHIND THE BLAST AND WHO ALL HAVE CONNIVED FOR BOMBING THE VOLATILE STATE. THE PEOPLE WHO WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO GO ON, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BENEFITTED BY THIS GOVERMENT, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE MONEY FOR VOTING FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF THIS GOVERNMENT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TERRORIST MOLES WILL NOT BOMB A STATE WHICH HAS A VOLATILE ATMOSPHER. BUT I GIVE FULL CREDIT TO THE GOVERNMENT OF GUJARATH AND ESPECIALLY MR. NARENDRA MODI FOR SHOEING RESTRAINT IN THE WAKE OF THIS CALAMITY SHOWERED UPON THEM BY THE CONNIVANCE OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WITH THE SILENT APPROVAL OF OUR DESI ITALIANO MADAM AND HER FAMILY.
