The BJP-led NDA and a 13-party grouping brought together by the Left parties have separately announced plans to bring cut motions to force government to roll back hike in the prices of petroleum products and fertilisers.
“Of course we are confident,” Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who was also present at the function, said.
Asked whether the government will be talking to leaders like SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on the issue, Singh said, “we seek the support of all right-thinking people”.
However, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had a different view.
Asked whether the RJD and SP would support the Left decision to bring the cut motion demanding a rollback in prices of fuels and fertilisers, he said: ‘We are observing a Bharat Bandh today, then why should we run the house today?’
When asked whether the BSP's decision was influenced by CBI cases against her, she said that the issue of supporting the UPA had nothing to do with it.
"I would like to say that the cases relating to Taj corridor and on assets were lodged during the NDA regime and the UPA was not in the power at that time," she said.
Mayawati, however, said that her party's agitation against wrong economic policies of the UPA Government and rise in prices of essential commodities would continue. She said her party will also protest the attitude of the government on development in UP.
