Rajnath Singh calls for President's Rule in Jammu & Kashmir

Ranchi, Jun 29 (PTI) BJP President Rajnath Singh today
called for President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir following the
ongoing crisis triggered by the Amaranth shrine controversy in
the valley.
"The President's rule should be clamped in Jammu and
Kashmir called in as the law and order was beyond the control
of the state government," he said.
The senior BJP leader warned against any review on the
transfer of land to the Amaranth shrine board in the
background of the political crisis in Jammu and Kashmir after
the PDP (People's Democratic Party) pulled out of the Ghulam
Nabi Azad government.
Training his guns on the Manmohan Singh government, Singh
said the ruling UPA at the centre had "failed on all fronts,
including economic, nuclear issue, inflation and price rise."
"Inflation rate stands at 11.42 per cent and the central
government is in a confused state, it is only using
international oil market as a cover to hide its inability to
address the problems," he said.
Claiming that there was not any significant influence in
the supply and demand theory in the international crude oil
market, Singh wondered what were the three economists-prime
minister Manmohan Singh, Finance minster P Chidambaram and
Planning Commission vice chairman Montek Singh Alhuwalia-doing
to contain price rise and inflation which would have given
some relief to the cpmmon man.
