UPA Govt will not be able to prove majority, says BJP</b>
Mumbai (PTI): Despite attempts by the Congress to influence MPs by paying them "large sums of money," the Manmohan Singh Government will not be able to prove its majority in Lok Sabha next week, the BJP said on Thursday.
"The Congress has distributed Rs 25 crore to MPs but still will not be able to prove a majority during the trust vote (on July 22)," BJP spokesman Prakash Jawadekar said here.
People are unhappy with the UPA government's performance, he said.
<b>
Criticising the Indo-US civil nuclear agreement, Jawadekar said the government has "deceived" people by hiding certain features of the deal, being opposed by the BJP.</b>
"The deal will improve the power situation only after 12 years and at three times the current cost. Even then, only three per cent of the total power requirement of the country would be met through nuclear energy," he said.
