Speech was cut, paste job: BJP

[1]

A “cut and paste job” is how the BJP has described Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s speech today from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the occasion of India’s Independence day.
The party’s spokesperson, Rajiv Pratap Rudy said: “A nation expects a lot from the Prime Minister’s Independence Day speech. But today it was a cut and paste story. The speech was lacklustre, directionless and visionless.”
He further said, “The speech shows that either the Prime Minister did not receive directives from the top or he has lost interest in his job.” He even slammed the PM for putting up a “dismal display” in his speech.
BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the PM’s speech was full of “confusion and contradictions”. He said that while admitting that the country is faced with problems such as Naxalism, terrorism and inflation, the PM had no concrete remedies to offer.
