‘Price rise worries aam admi’
New Delhi, Jan. 26: BJP parliamentary party chairman Mr L.K. Advani, who celebrated country’s 60th Republic Day hoisting flag at his residence, feels that though the day is special as it marks the diamond jubilee of the adoption of the Constitution, countrymen are worried due to issues like price rise, internal security situation and growing corruption level, especially in politics. Asserting that there are still apprehensions about another 26/11-like terror strike in the country, Mr Advani said that the government should be concerned about it.Â

On the issue of country’s internal security, the BJP leader said, "Those in power are not sure that such an event will not take place. Nor are the foreign countries sure about it (taking place again in India). Even our neighbouring country, which has a complicit role in such attacks, says we cannot confirm it will not take place."
Mr Advani said even though there is hope and confidence among countrymen that India will stand in the frontline among the developed countries in this century due to its potential, the aam admi is still worried about the spiralling prices of essential commodities. "The aam admi is sad about the present and is specially worried due to price rise and security (issues)," Mr Advani said. He also maintained that there is a need to relook at the manner in which elections were held in the country.
"There is so much corruption, use of muscle power in elections and some people benefit due to this. The Election Commission (EC) should think about this," the BJP leader said. He insisted that the EC and political parties should take a pledge and ensure that India becomes an ideal democracy.
