Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday predicted the fall of the UPA Government and early elections to the Lok Sabha.

He was speaking after his felicitation by the people of Padmanabhanagar Assembly Constituency here.

Mr. Naidu said the UPA Government trying to deflect the attention of people from its failure on all fronts.

While the Left parties became an impediment to the country’s progress, the Congress had no programme or policies for development.

Mr. Naidu alleged that the people of the country were fed up with the UPA rule.

He said the UPA Government had too many remote controls, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh never got a chance to display his administrative acumen.

He said the UPA Government was in the “intensive care unit.”

Member of Parliament for Bangalore South H.N. Ananthkumar said the people of Bangalore and Karnataka had shown confidence in the BJP and the leadership of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

The party would also do well in the general elections. Chairman of the PES Group M.R. Doreswamy, MLC, was felicitated on the occasion.
