"The speakers will criticise the UPA government's failure on internal security, failure to check price rise, increasing farmer suicides, lack of fertiliser for farmers, and other issues," said a BJP MP.
The NDA MPs have also been advised to speak at length on how the NDA followed coalition 'dharma' while the UPA has been a "complete failure". "Their members have deserted them while NDA's had stayed intact," Deputy Leader of BJP in Lok Sabha V K Malhotra told reporters.
NDA sources told PTI after their meeting in the parliament annexe here that other than their prime ministerial candidate L K Advani, those who will speak include Shahnawaz Hussain, Kiran Maheshwari, Maneka Gandhi, Manvendra Singh and Amar Singh Gehlot.
