• UPA's soft policy on terrorism has spawned trans-national terrorist network in and around India facilitated by ISI which has established a clear linkage among dreaded militant organisations such as Maoist, ULFA, MULTA, LTTE, other insurgent groups in north-east and Hiju and other terrorist groups in Bangladesh.

• UPA's abandonment of POTA without any substitute stringent anti-terror law has emboldened terrorist organisations resulting in increase in terrorist attacks. Ayodhya, Bangalore, Kashi, Delhi, Mumbai, Malegaon, Samjhouta Express, Jammu and now Hyderabad, ......the list is unending.

• UPA's political maneours like resolution in Kerala Assembly asking relief for Coimbatore blast kingpin Abdul Nasir Madani, putting on hold hanging of Afazal Guru – a brain behind attack on Indian Parliament and zero tolerance warning to security forces on human right violations, have emboldened terrorists and demoralised security forces.

• UPA's tacit electoral understanding with terrorist outfits in Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Manipur and Assam was very much visible.

• The government has not deported any infiltrator even after Supreme Court struck down IMDT Act and amendments to Foreigners Act.

• UPA converted Indo-Pak dialogue from terrorism centric during NDA regime to Kashmir centric.

• UPA is carrying out negotiations on Jammu and Kashmir in a hush-hush manner without taking nation into confidence. The Union government is intentionally hiding the details of discussion of "non-paper". Gen. Musharraf and other Pakistan leaders are making revelations each day stating that much progress has been achieved on self-rule, autonomy, de-militarisation, and joint management.

• Troop pull out from boundary districts of Doda, Poonch and Rajouri of Jammu region clearly points, that Manmohan Singh's government has buckled under the pressure of Mufti Mohammad Sayed of PDP. Large scale migration of Hindus is taking place from these border areas.

• UPA failed to address the grievances and failed to provide justice to Kashmiri Pandits. Thus, the worst human rights abuse continues to remain unattended.

• Third Round Table Conference on J&K issue drifted away from its original agenda of strengthening centre-state relations, rule of law, secularism, pluralism, justice and equity, instead there was growing clamour for soft borders, autonomy, self governance, demilitarization and withdrawal of anti terror laws, economic independence and joint management of state's natural resources.

• The UPA has turned a Nelson's eye towards the protest march by pro-Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba activists carrying Pakistan flags and raising anti-India slogans.

• Indo-US nuclear treaty draft is a compromise with our nuclear sovereignty and amounts to keeping the country's long term interests pledged to US.

• There is either no assurance of uninterrupted fuel supply or permission to reprocess even after accepting stringent conditionalities.

• The separation of our nuclear plants and facilities, as between civilian and military is difficult, expensive and has implications for our strategic programme, and is unwarranted.

• More strict obligations than CTBT and NPT.

• On an issue of such importance, the Prime Minister has repeatedly misled the Parliament and the people of India. It is now clear from the statements made by the US officials and letter by US legislators that neither parity nor reciprocity will be made available to India under this deal.

• The paradox is that while detailed discussions are taking place on the future of the Indian nuclear programme in the US Congress, Parliament of India is deliberately kept in the dark.

• India had already assured the international community on a voluntary moratorium on further nuclear tests. And, pledged itself to a policy of no-first attack. Still, this treaty bans freedom of any future test and keeps no exit route.
UPA compromised the welfare of "Aam Aadmi"

• Rising prices and increasing shortages of essential commodities under the UPA rule have made the life of common man miserable. Rising prices of all essential commodities like wheat, rice, pulses, oil, vegetables, petrol, diesel, cement has adversely affected the living standards of the masses.

• UPA converted Indian economy from a state of surpluses to a state of scarcity. Even for the cooking gas which was available across the counter during NDA regime, people have to wait for weeks together.

• UPA Government instead of tackling the supply side constraints has gone in full drive to curb the demand by monetary measures resulting in unprecedented increase in home loan interest rates, thus hitting the middle class.

• Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's relief package to the families of the farmers who committed suicide proved not only inadequate but a hoax. The rate of suicide increased after announcement of his so-called relief package.

• The UPA has deliberately kept the MSP at the lowest band, which is the crux of the agrarian poverty. It is paying foreign farmers more than Indian farmers, while importing wheat and other food items.

• The Indian agriculture is in deep crisis as the growth has stagnated. The government has completely failed in ensuring "ever green revolution".

• The Rs.50,000 crore Jayaprakash Narayan Rural Credit Fund launched by NDA for the benefit of rural masses has been scuttled by UPA government.

• Wheat, edible oils, pulses and many other food items had to be imported for the first time after a gap of eight years.

• The NDA government has increased the food grain quota for BPL families from 18 Kg to 35 Kg per month. But the UPA government reduced it to 20kg per month. Government is considering hiking the issue prices under PDS.

• There is considerable slowing in all infrastructure projects initiated by NDA be it Golden Quadrilateral, Gram Sadak Yojana, North-South, East -West Corridors etc., NDA was adding 4.5 Km of roads everyday, which has come down to 1.5 Km a day in UPA regime.

• There is severe power crisis, with many places witnessing 8-10 hours of load shedding a day. It seems that government has forgotten its own dream promise of adding 100,000 MW of power by 2012.

• Government is not moving ahead on projects like Subhansi which has tremendous generation potential and has bungled badly in projects like Dabhol.

• UPA shelved ambitious River Linking Project which would have protected the country from the floods and famine.

• UPA diluted the concept of SEZ by granting hundreds of permissions resulting in a massive scandal. In the process, government became the biggest land grabber.

• The entire land acquisition for SEZ has led to immense violence against farmers as witnessed in Nandigram and injustice as can be gauged by protests of farmers all over nation.

• The government went ahead with the controversial alignment in the Sethu Samudram project which is environmentally disastrous and depletes precious thorium resources besides hurting the heritage and sentiments of the people.
UPA compromised integrity

• UPA failed to get extradition of Quattrocchi from Argentina, with CBI's credibility taking a severe beating due to its delay in revealing his detention. Apart from this, his account in London was defreeze allowing him to rob the country to the tune of Rs 21 crore yet again.

• Government deliberately kept mum on the charges of KGB and CIA pay offs to Congress by Mitrokhin Archive II and former US Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moyniham.

• Showing utter disregard to the Constitutional sanctity government appointed Navin Chawla as Election Commissioner whose impartiality was in question.

• There is a perception that the real authority does not rest with the Prime Minster but with unaccountable party chief. It's a government which is pressurised constantly by the Left who are also enjoying power without accountability.

• UPA is a crumbling coalition with backing off of JDS, MDMK, TRS. PDP and NCP keep fighting with Congress, Left fights Congress on streets and in government and DMK directly announces appointment of minister a prerogative, one thought belonged to Prime Minister.

• UPA government is the government with highest number of tainted ministers against whom charges have been framed for murder, rioting, corruption and other heinous crimes. The central minister Shibu Soren and Member of Parliament Shahbuddin are serving life term in jail and still continue to be Members of Parliament.

• Ministers speak in different voices over vital issues such as relevance of the government for masses and issues like reservations, Delhi Master Plan, Asiad Games, inflation, etc.,

• By continuing to practice the politics of competititve minorityism, the UPA has communalised the polity of the nation. The government, for the sake of politics, has linked action against terrorism as detrimental to minority welfare.
