New Delhi: A day after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
leader L.K. Advani called for ouster of the Congress-led
government, National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders will meet
Monday evening to finalise the strategy for the winter session of
parliament beginning Tuesday.
The meeting, which is to be held at Advani's house, will also
finalise the declaration to be given by NDA members stating they
have no illegitimate assets or accounts abroad.
BJP MPs also met at Advani's house Monday.
Advani, at his rally Sunday, said all NDA members of the Lok Sabha
and Rajya Sabha will submit a declaration to their presiding
officer stating: "I solemnly declare that I do not have a bank
account or asset, illegally held outside India."
The move comes as the opposition has been pressurising the
government to declare the names of account holders given to the
government by HSBC Bank, Switzerland. There has been speculation
that the names of some MPs figure in the list.
Apart from black money, the opposition is also focusing on
cornering the government on the issue of price rise, corruption
and various scams.
The winter session of parliament is expected to be tumultuous as
sources from the BJP say attempts will be made to establish
coordination with other opposition parties after the NDA finalises
its strategy.
Communist Party of India leader A.B. Bardhan had already
said on Sunday the Left will move an adjournment motion on price rise.
