[0:10]Name Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Party : Bharatiya Janata Party. Ideology : Right Wing Conservative. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was inducted into the RSS in his early years. He was one of the founder members of the Jan Sangh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was External Affairs Minister in the Janata Party Government led by Morarji Desai in 1977. After the formation of the BJP, he has been projected as the moderate face of the party. He is today the BJP's Prime Ministerial Candidate, officially. Good evening and welcome to Face Off. We have with us this evening the BJP's star campaigner and formerly announced prime ministerial candidate Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee. With me, Javed Akhtar. Mr. Vajpayee, aapke agenda mein, aur Congress aur United Front sivay Ram Mandir ke kya antar hai? What is the difference? Hamare agenda mein bahut antar hai. Agar aap sab partiyon ke agenda ko compare karke dekhenge to aapko pata lagega ki aaj jo samasyein desh ke samne musibat bankar khadi hain aur jinke liye bahut badi matra mein Congress aur Samyukta Morcha zimmedaar hain, unka hal hum apne agenda se dena chahte hain. Jo party 50 saal aarthik swarajya nahi la saki ya us disha mein aage nahi badh saki, woh agenda mein kya kehti hai, iska kya matlab hai? But the same charges of double speak are levied against the BJP. The BJP stands against communalism, casteism, corruption, crime. And yet, your alliance partners with the Shiv Sena on one hand. You talk with, you, you campaign with Jayalalitha on the same platform. You woo the BSP and you feel Sanjay Singh as your official candidate from Amethi. Now, these are obvious examples of double speak.
[2:36]No, I don't think so. You judge Bharatiya Janata Party on the basis of its program, policies and its conduct. You have referred to BJP's allies. But let the BJP be given a clean chit first. We wanted to have a single party majority. The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the single largest party during the last election. But when we were invited by the President, he was criticized by other political parties. Why was it done? In order to create majority in the Lok Sabha, we did not indulge in horse trading. Atal ji, ye toh aapne jaisa farmaya ki aapne horse trading nahi ki. 13 din jo hukumat thi uske liye, use bachane ke liye. Lekin uska equal and opposite reaction hum UP mein dekhte hain ki jo worst kind of horse trading hai woh wahan hui. Har party mein kuch criminals hote hain, kuch kharab element hote hain, lekin BJP ne toh har party se criminal chun ke apne yahan jama kiye aur unhe mantri banaya. Ye theek hai. Ye kehna theek nahi hai. Agar aap ye kehte hain toh aap maan lete hain ki aur partiyon ne chunchun kar apne yahan criminals bharti kar rakhe the. Aap ye bhi maan lete hain ke logon ne un criminals ko vote diye the. Uttar Pradesh mein jo kuch hua usse hum khush nahi hain. Lekin Uttar Pradesh mein hamare khilaf ek sajish ki gayi thi. Aakhir Kalyan Singh sabse badi party ke neta ke roop mein ubhre the. Governor ne unhe sarkar banane ke liye kyu nahi bulaya? Kya apraadh tha unka sirf yahi ke woh BJP ke hain? Phir jab humne BSP se samjhauta kar liya toh unhe bulane ke alawa koi raasta nahi tha. Lekin jab woh sarkar toot gayi aur doosri sarkar banne ka mauka aaya toh unhone sirf hume chaar din diye, chaar din bhi pure nahi diye, dhai din diye sarkar banane ke liye. Gujarat mein Governor ne 15 din diye. Aur Governor ne jis samay hume sarkar banane ke liye dhai din diye usi samay Kendra ko sifarish kar di ki wahan Rashtrapati shasan lagu kar dena chahiye. Toh jo kuch Uttar Pradesh mein hua wo jaldbazi mein hua. Kanooni nazariye se theek hua. Samvaidhanik drishti se sahi hua. Ab doosri party mein agar split ho jaye aur split agar law ke hisab se ho aur split karne wale kahe ki hum Uttar Pradesh ko Rashtrapati Raj se phir se bachana chahte hain, hum lok apni sarkar lana chahte hain aur woh ye samjhe ki Bharatiya Janata Party ke saath milne ke alawa aur koi raasta nahi hai aur woh humse milna chahe toh hum unhe kaise dosh de sakte hain?
