BJP has said if NDA comes to power at the Centre in next general elections, it will cancel all the schemes being implemented by the UPA government to "appease a particular community".
<b>"If NDA comes to power at the Centre in the coming Lok Sabha polls, we will cancel all those schemes announced by the UPA government on the basis of religion to appease a certain section,"</b> <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->Â BJP President Rajnath Singh told PTI in an interview.
He said the welfare measures announced by the Centre to provide benefit to a particular community was "dangerous" for the country and NDA will withdraw all those schemes straightway. He did not name the community but the reference was apparently to Muslims.
<b>"We will not give scholarship to somebody on the basis of whether he is Muslim or Christian. Our welfare measures will be based on economic condition of the people,"</b>Â <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Singh said, strongly criticising certain schemes in this year's budget.
Confident of NDA's return to power in the coming general elections, the BJP president said talks are going on with many political parties so as to expand the NDA fold. "Talks are going on with many political parties to expand the NDA," he said.
Singh, however, declined to name the parties with whom talks are in progress, cryptically saying "I am confident that the number of parties in NDA will certainly increase soon.".<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
