Decision to set up GOM flayed :
Karnataka, India > Bangalore,Oct 1 : BJP President Venkaiah Naidu today criticised the Congress-led UPA government decision to set up a Group of Ministers (GOM) "to enquire into the decisions of the NDA regime" and accused the Centre of trying to "create and fabricate falsehood." "Government has formed a GOM to enquire into the decisions of the previous government, they do not have anything substantial with them and are trying to make a false case," he told reporters here.
There were set procedures to make enquiries, he said, adding "the GOM has been formed to create and fabricate against the previous government," and warned "it will boomerang on the government." Naidu said the Centre had taken this move due to its inability to arrest price rise, curb inflation and inability to keep its promise to bring in a legislation to guarantee 100 days employment for one member in a family.
He said there were states which had BJP or NDA party governments and asked whether similar enquiries could be conducted by them on previous Congress regimes.
UPA government's performance in the first 100 days was "pathetic" and it had failed to take up people's issues.
Naidu dismissed reports that he had differences with former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Uma Bharti.
There was no infighting in the party over the second rung leadership, he said. PTI
