Advani hopes strike would silence opposition’s critics

Senior BJP leader L K Advani today hoped that the strike called against price rise would put an end to criticism that the opposition was not doing enough on the issue. He thanked the people of the country for making Bharat Bandh an unprecedented success.

Mr Advani was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function held to mark the birth anniversary of party ideologue Shyama Prasad Mookherjee in New Delhi. The NDA and Left partied had yesterday called for a Bharat Bandh to protest against fuel price hike. Mr Advani said he had been hearing criticism from some quarters that opposition parties were not taking up the issue of price rise in a big way.

Earlier during the ceremony to pay tributes to Mookerjee, Advani told his party members to strive towards making BJP a party with a difference as envisaged by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
